I was so disappointed with the hotel that we stayed  in. There was an internet connection and I couldn’t even view my page because the internet connection was so slow.  Will thinks that they have one teeny tiny internet connection that all of the different rooms used. We couldn’t even obtain an IP address.  Anyways, Will and I were busy yesterday visiting Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.  I really enjoyed all of the terrific views!  Yellowstone is a fantastic place to visit it’s all about Nature.

I kept asking Will if any of the things we saw were man-made.  He would just smile and say that God had been busy at some time in the past.  It    was the most wonderful place to visit that I could ever imagine.  Everything there was amazing.  We arrived in Yellowstone around 10:00 o’clock in the morning and it wasn’t too crowded yet.  The first residents of Yellowstone that we got to meet were Bison.
Bison
The Bison have a thick kind of curly fur and they look similar to a water buffalo.  They seemed to a bit smaller than a water buffalo.  I never thought that I could ever see those kinds of wildlife in real life.  I remember when I was in college I saw some pictures of Bison and I was completely uninterested in them because they looked so scary to me. Will and I were just kept driving after we took the pictures of the Bison.  

My hubby and I stopped next at a place called Madison Geyser Basin.  Madison Geyser is group of geothermal geysers that show themselves in different ways.  Sometimes steam erupts from vents, and sometimes gasses trapped under the ground bubble to the surface.  From some of them you could even smell sulfur being emitted with the steam. The other thing that caught my attention was the Mud Pots.



They’re called Mud Pots because you can see the mud bubbling and boiling…I told Will it looked like lava from a volcano.  We spent more than 30 minutes just taking pictures. One of things on Will’s list was to see the “OLD FAITHFULL GEYSER”.  This one was more interesting because the water comes out very high every 80-90 minutes.

We got there about 5 minutes before the start of the eruption.  Good timing!  There were lots of people also waiting to witness this amazing natural event created by God.  I was so speechless when I saw the water come out with a lot of smoke (steam).  Only one word came out from my mouth after that show (I don’t know if that’s the right word to say “show”). Oh God! There’s nothing impossible for God to accomplish.  Will and I really enjoyed Yellowstone National Park.  Before sunset we had almost visited all the destinations that we had on our list.  Everything from wild animals to water falls to geothermal geysers.  Yellowstone National Park would be a great place to visit and go camping with family. 
That was me :-)
On a previous trip I visited the Redwood Forest near Eureka California.  The Redwood Forest contains giant (and I mean GIANT) redwood trees, some so big that several people can’t join hands around the base of a tree. Comparing Yellowstone to the Redwood Forest – there really isn’t a comparison.  You could spend days or weeks at Yellowstone seeing all of the different things in this terrific national park.  Animals, geysers, water falls, geothermal vents, canyons, etc.  I hope we can go back there again with our little boy :-)
