We arrived at the Lionshead RV resort Thursday afternoon early and set up (getting good at that). Friday is Carolyn's Birthday so she got breakfast and flowers when she got up, then drove up into Yellowstone for the day. Treated her to dinner at "Bullwinkle's" in West Yellowstone. Happy Birthday Carolyn.
Saturday we had breakfast and drove back into the park to "Old Faithful" and the basin. We had a nice walk down the outside trail toward the Riverside Geyser and the "Castle Geyser" then back down for lunch and a view of "Old Faithful" in the afternoon. On the trip back home we saw several single Bison, no herds through and stopped for awhile to watch part of the Madison River Elk herd as they grazed close to us. Of little note in descriptions of the Yellowstone area (noted in the Colorado Springs area also) is the phenomena of the EXPLODING MAYONNAISE. Anna, particularly has experienced this personally. At around 6000 feet altitude, mayonnaise in a plastic container will tend to be come over pressurized on the inside and come out forcefully when opened, much to her surprise. She had a laugh at Carl today however as he opened a tube of suntan lotion, and had to quickly put his finger on the hole to stop it erupting.
