It was nice to have a chance to stop in Bowman and walk around part of the ranch, but for more breathtaking landscapes and scenery, Yellowstone National Park is where we needed to go. So we headed for Bozeman, Montana and left from there in the morning. Yellowstone is the first national park in the U.S. and takes up a big chunk of Wyoming so we didn’t waste anytime and went straight to the visitor’s center. We booked a couple of rooms for the night and off we went. First stop we made of course was Old Faithful, the most popular geyser in the entire park. I was expecting water to shoot up hundreds of feet in the air from the ground, but what I got was probably 50 feet so I was a little bummed. I guess there are some geysers that do shoot up water really high, but very rarely and it’s unpredictable to tell when the high ones are going to be. Hot springs are also common in the park, but you are not allowed to go in them. There was this one called Morning Glory that looked so blue I wanted to do a cannonball in it, but I guess the more blue the water, the hotter it is so I opted for taking pictures instead. There was also this place called mud volcano which was kind of interesting, but I renamed it Graham’s butt because it smelled really bad just like his farts. We saw plenty of elk and buffalo, a bald eagle, a wolf or coyote, otters, but what we really wanted to see was a moose. No luck there, but while we were looking for a moose, we saw a brown bear in the distance walking towards the forest so that was cool. Buffalo are funny looking because their butts are really small compared to the rest of their body and they walk in the middle of the road like they own the place which is very rude to all the cars that have to wait until they slowly get their small butts out of the road. They look kind of scary, but when I tried to get close to one, the buffalo starting walking away from me so I guess I’m a force to be reckoned with. What a way to end our trip, it has truly been an adventure of a lifetime and there’s still so much to see in the world that I just want to continue traveling. I’d just like to say thanks to everyone for following our tour.
