Yellowstone Day 4

The weatherman got it right today. We woke to sunny skies but black clouds quickly rolled in and rain poured down off and on, more one than off. So off we went with rain coats in tow.

White Done Geyser had just erupted when we pulled up and was still  letting off steam.

With the cooler temps and rain Firehole Lake lived up to it’s name. We couldn’t see the lake for the steam.

We haven’t had phone or internet service for several days and we heard it was available at the Snow Lodge in the Old Faithful section of Yellowstone. Since it was pouring rain we thought today was a good day to make phone calls to family and friends, catch up on email, and upload the last several days of blog post.

After we finished there we went to see the new $27 million Old Faithful Visitor Education Center that just opened 8/25/10. Beautiful building. Exhibits that explained about the geysers and hot springs. We watched a movie on Yellowstone in which the cinematographers should get an award for – stunning! We wanted to see Old Faithful erupt again since the rain stopped. We weren’t paying attention to the time, Tommy told  me to look out the window and we caught the eruption though the visitor centers huge windows.

Not a busy day but the rain finally ended making it a great day!
