The area around Old Faithful is beautiful, full of little geysers.  I snapped and snapped pictures.  Old Faithful is beautiful even when not erupting.  I snapped and snapped pictures.  Finally, after waiting for over an hour, the big moment came.  I aimed my camera and !!?>??nothing?  I couldn't get the durn thing to work.  I put it down and just enjoyed the eruption.

Later, I tried the camera again, and the batteries were dead.  There is a warning, but I missed it.  Ah well, it is etched on my memory!

Today we left the expensive RV place and drove back through Yellowstone, thinking we would unhook at a visitor center and drive up into the Canyon.  We were both too tired to do that, so we kept on driving right out of the East Gate of the park.  This route takes you around Yellowstone Lake, and we did see a herd of bison on the way.

Now we are in a wonderful campground not too many miles from Cody, WY.  It is supposed to be closed, but the owner said come on in.  It is much cheaper than the last one, and in a beautiful spot in the high desert.  Here, the aspens and willows are still in full color, and the mountains are very interesting and strange.  In fact the drive from the East Gate through these mountains was exceptionally beautiful.

Maybe we'll go into Cody tomorrow, and maybe not.  We'll see how we feel.  We are both tired tonight.  The altitude doesn't help.
