After getting the tire fixed on the camper we decided to visit Yellowstone.
Both of us had seen it before and enjoyed it very much so we kind of knew what to expect. We were ready to see just what we could see in four or five hours. It is a very big park with many wonderful formations that only Mother Nature could provide. Because it is so big we knew our sight seeing would be limited.
The park has a special meaning for me because My grandparents met and had a romance at Yellowstone when the Park was just becoming popular. Grandpa Hoag drove a stagecoach and Grandma Hoag worked at the lodge. Their romance of two years ended in marriage having my mother and her brother, Uncle Frank and her sister Aunt Catherine.
It was always a sweet story that was fun to hear Mom tell.
Gary and I had lunch at one of the new lodges where I met a young couple working at the cafeteria. They were visiting at the window when I came up with my empty tray. I told them the story of my grandparents and with a wink I said, "One never knows what a summer job in Yellowstone can do." Their answer was a giggle and an Oh, no.
This couple was from Czechoslovakia! There were several young people working at the lodge from other countries. How times have changed.
As Gary and I were leaving there was a small yellow bus parked where it could pick up tourist.Gary said, "There is the modern day stagecoach!"

Wild life in the park. Whenever there was a group of people gathered taking pictures you knew they had found some wild life.
Small geysers and the resulting rock formations. Warning signs with dangerous.....very hot every where.

It was a short day but a fun one. We were now on our way "home" to Yellostone Edge RV Park.
If you haven't guessed I love water pictures. This one is one of my favorites.
