Captain’s Log, Day 5 (80 miles logged)
I deliberately scheduled a limited-drive day. I figured we road warriors would need a break.
The scenery from Cody into Yellowstone is SPECTACULAR. That’s why people make the trek.
Leo, of course, could not be bothered.
On this journey, we have seen flora, but not fauna. So when we finally saw bison, we lost our minds.
Like Leo, the bison were completely unconcerned about our existence.
I really expected to see more critters. Maybe the rangers still have them locked up.
We set up camp at the Yellowstone Fishing Bridge RV Park. We did laundry. Made lunch. Walked to said Fishing Bridge.
Photos do not do this place justice. The word “breathtaking” doesn’t do it justice. Yellowstone is one of those places you really have to see for yourself.
I tried to upload my blog post, but service was spotty. Huge national park. Nature. Go figure. 😉
Dominic, a typical teenager, was bothered by the lack of connectivity.
“What am I supposed to do? ENJOY NATURE?”
All kidding aside, it is beautiful, and we did need to disconnect.
At night, we played card games. All was well.
Next: Old Faithful.
*I’ve always been a fan.
Observe and report 
One of my favorite places on earth!!! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have on my visits.

This was my dad’s playground growing up as he did part-time in Livingston and in Billings. I love The Park. Spent a night in a cabin near Old Faithful lodge sometime in the 80s, in September. We (Good X and I) woke up to a dark cabin, but it shouldn’t have been. Weirder still, it was roaring all around. We got up, looked out the window and the bison had gathered around it for the warmth that was coming through the walls. We were trapped. Judging from my current surroundings, we did get out somehow (ha ha) .

Ooooh. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We wanted to stay near Old Faithful but it was full.

Fishing Bridge is classic. That’s where my aunts, cousins, etc. were staying in 1959 when the big earthquake hit. My Aunt Jo thought it was a bear and sent my uncle out of the tent with a pot and spoon to scare the bear away… I know you’ll love every minute of that amazing place!
