On the way to Yellowstone National Park

This was a fabulous day, beginning with another stupendous breakfast created by Heidi at our wonderful airbnb in Driggs, Idaho.  Today included cheese blintzes with french raspberry sauce, fresh fruits, yogurts, bagels, english muffins, croissants, scones, banana bread and cream cheese, jams and butters.  Too good to be true--we hate to leave and look forward to coming back!  If you're ever heading this way Heidi's airbnb is the place to stay.

Going on, it was a gray day and a stark landscape as we headed north...

...this is a storage facility for the seed potatoes that are the mainstay of the area, exported all over the globe.

We saw amazingly beautiful birch groves at the side of the road.

And, of course, we had to stop for lunch--a brisket sandwich with mushrooms and gravy and lovely homemade potato chips which we split in a feeble effort to be less calorific.  The Buffalo Bar and Casino in West Yellowstone has about seven tv screens showing car racing, Animal Planet, hockey, BBC, etc. and many devices upon which to gamble.

Oh my--inside Yellowstone National Park, a lovely moose has come to greet us!

And soon, bison were crossing the road.  Bison count for the day--115!

The boiling water in the lava parks is amazing and then there's...

...Old Faithful erupting today at 3:40pm. An awesome sight. One of many geysers in the park but the most well know for sure.

Finally tonight, a ruminating bison settling down for the night.   Wow, who knew we'd be counting bison tonight to go to sleep?
