What a day. Our first day in Yellowstone and we, of course, decided to take in Old Faithful. It is located about 1-1/2 hours into the park from the North Entrance. Well, it took us 4-1/2 hours to get there. As you can see from the picture, a small herd of buffalo decided to migrate down the roadway. Luckily, we were close enough to see what the hold up was, but I bet the traffic backed up for miles behind us. The buffalo really had nowhere to go, a mountainside on the left and a river on the right. For 3 hours, we went at buffalo speed, let off the brakes, drift a few feet and stop again. We did finally make Old Faithful and it blew just about 10 minutes after we arrived (it goes off approx. every 96 minutes).
We did see other things along the way there and back, which you will see in the pictures included with the email notifying you of this blog update. There will be a second blog update on our next day Yellowstone following.
