9:00 a.m. Breakfast at the Running Bear. Fantastic place! Mike said it's the best French toast he's ever had, and he's a French toast aficionado. I had a meatless breakfast skillet with grilled mushrooms, onions, and green peppers on rice with vegan sausage and avocado. We love this place.
10:15 a.m. GAS at Traveler's Service & Snowmobile Rental in West Yellowstone. 9.8 gal x $2.44/gal = $24.03.
11:15 a.m. Gibbon Falls.
11:45 a.m. Norris Basin. This turned out to be my favorite place of the day. Ominous-sounding steam vents and baby blue ethereal pools.
12:15 p.m. Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Mike's favorite place of the day. Hiked Uncle Tom's Trail from Upper Falls to Lower Falls and back.
1:45 p.m. Mud Volcano. This place had the Dragon's Mouth, which makes terrifying sounds and belches out steam. It seems like the devil lives in there.
5:00 p.m. Gravel road to Slough Creek. Got a hot tip that a pack of 36 wolves have their den on the hill above the creek and they come out and howl early in the morning. Planning to come back tomorrow morning.
5:30 p.m. Lamar Valley. Saw pronghorn antelope and lots of buffalo. We've seen so many buffalo that it's not even all that exciting to see them anymore. 88 degrees and hot down here in the valley.
6:00 p.m. Super 8 in Cooke City, Montana. We're on the second floor. No elevator. Also no air conditioning, and obviously, no pool. We do have a window we can open, but there are drunk guys right outside our window, swearing and talking loudly. Very sketchy wi-fi, so I'm not even going to attempt to upload photos to this post until later.
