Oh, well . . . better late than never. :-) I LOVE Yellowstone, but I just HATE the crowds and the cars and pretty much all the other people in the park. You guys did so well to get off the beaten paths a bit! What a wonderful vacation, Bonny. I love seeing the boys. Who look so much like . . . themselves . . . only younger. (And I will be chuckling all day about "Stumps of the West." So. Great.)

I last visited Yellowstone in the 70's and it was crowded then - I can't imagine how much more so it would be 30 or 40 years later. Stumps of the West sounds like a great keepsake from your trip!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047968915708927082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-73646546330964152892017-03-31T17:20:05.941-04:002017-03-31T17:20:05.941-04:00Oh, my!

LOVE!!!<br /><br />I've only been to Yellowstone once -- my sisters and I stopped to camp overnight on our way back from our Oregon coast trek. I think it was June and the mosquitoes nearly ate us alive!! We got up very early the next morning and saw Old Faithful in the early morning light before continuing our trip home.Vicki Knitorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342431774644974327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-90699987618355390152017-03-31T14:53:15.257-04:002017-03-31T14:53:15.257-04:00It feels a bit selfish to complain about things li...It feels a bit selfish to complain about things like crowds in a beautiful place like Yellowstone, but I'll just do it differently next time (like go in the fall). I hadn't appreciated the geology of the area at all before I was there, but the hundreds of geysers, hot springs, and hydrothermal features are outward evidence of all the volcanic activity happening underground. Some of the "supervolcano" stories get a bit dramatic, but it is interesting to better understand what is going on.Bonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608328439375705263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-47972308564337335892017-03-31T14:23:28.539-04:002017-03-31T14:23:28.539-04:00I bet the crowds are a disappointment when you are...I bet the crowds are a disappointment when you are trying to see the wilderness and wildlife. I really have been enjoying this series, Bonny. You taught me about the caldera, which I had never heard of before this post.

The crowds still exist! We were last there in the month of July though I think so... So many wonderful things to see though. And it is so great to see all of this through your eyes. Can't wait to hear about the rodeo!

We actually stayed at the lodge right by Old Faithful which was pretty neat. What I remember most were the blues of the various pools and the stench - lol - sulpher...just like rotten eggs. And I was nervous walking on some of the boardwalks. Ryan and his stumps made me laugh! Such a wonderful trip you had. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189170045283685051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-50704807186267816942017-03-31T10:01:17.264-04:002017-03-31T10:01:17.264-04:00I enjoy walking down memory lane with you as you g...I enjoy walking down memory lane with you as you go about your adventures.
