Yellowstone Episode IV... A New Hope

<== Driving to Yellowstone National Park. This is part of the Bighorn Mountains

 The view... ==>

 <== The drive takes you through an incredible variety of environments...

It's cold at the top!!! ==>













<== Rock formations everywhere... and they're all different...

A gorgeous view of the Bighorn Basin... a running theme from now on will be how inadequate pictures are to describe what we see... ==>

 <== Finally, the park entrance.

Yellowstone Lake, a stunning sight as you drive into and around Yellowstone. ==>












<== We had lunch at the cafeteria at a lodge next to the lake, but the picture didn't turn out so well. Oh well, it was an amazing view for a meal.













Went straight to Old Faithful after. ==>

<== One of the many incredible hot springs. We have too many pictures to count. I'm going to put a link up to Picasa as soon as I can upload hundreds of pictures at once. Right now with motel wifi it takes like an hour to upload 10 =/

 Us hanging out in front of one ==>

 <== Went to the campground afterwords, and set up our tents.

Made a roarin' fire, and cooked sausages for dinner. Great day. ==>














ps. Apparently there are drive through liquor stores in Wyoming... the irony is delicious. This is in Cody. Regardless, we decided to give it a shot for science... The Four Lokos and the JD got their revenge later.
