Yellowstone Park July 11, 2018 (and some June 1968)

Waiting for Old Faithful on the old observation deck of Old Faithful Inn, Steven in green shirt.  He and I were here with the rest of our family in 1968, 50 years ago, and the photo below shows Greg, Jeff and me (and maybe Arch in front of Jeff) watching Old Faithful.

 Just before Old Faithful erupted (back to 2018 now), a crow landed on a  roof-pole at the Inn and cawed.  You can see same poles in 1968 photo.  No crow though.

 Yellowstone Lake and West Thumb Geyser Basin

The ranger stations at the entrances  to the park hand out these fliers along with a map and other info.  One fellow who was in the park about three weeks after we were didn't heed the warning due to being drunk and disorderly, like he had been earlier at Grand Teton Nat'l Park and was again later at Glacier Nat'l Park.  The rangers, not the bison, finally got him.

Bison along the highway north of Jackson.. Traffic was stopped briefly because some of them were crossing the road.  The Snake River is nearby on the other side of the road.

Dad managed to get some up-close bison photos in '68.

Steven with camera, 1968.

Rest of family, except Dad who of course took photo.  I got a tiny piece of rock in my right eye while we were riding horses on a trail in Yellowstone during this trip. An optometrist in Cody, Wyoming used tweezers (and eye anesthetic) to get it out.  I wore an eye patch for the rest of the trip, but we were finished with our vacation by then and were just driving back to Pine Bluff from Wyoming, no doubt stopping somewhere to see something but there aren't any photos after Yellowstone.
