Yellowstone Day 7 – Mammoth Hot Springs

Snowed this AM – told you.

We set out for the Mammoth Hot Springs, 88 miles away, as soon as the roads cleared. We made pretty good time until we hit an “animal jam;” i.e. tourists blocking the road to look at wildlife. One dozen cars stopped blocking in both directions to take pictures of a beaver up on a rock. A beaver! Musta all been New Yorkers who watch music videos instead of Animal Planet. So, more hot springs up there, tho completely different from the bubbly kind.

Does that last one remind you of Monet?

Finally, on our way back home, one of the locals bid us a fond farewell.

Hey Bruce,

We were driving over towards Tower Falls from Mommoth, and we saw a beaver sitting on a rock.

No one was stopping to take his picture, and he looked a little perturbed about it!!

Oh, wait, I have to stop typing. . .there is a chipmunk near my campsite stopping all the traffic. I better go take it's picture :)
