Our last day in Yellowstone. We started out slow. Bill went fishing and had nary a nibble. I cleaned up a little in the RV and had my coffee at the picnic table reading and watching Bill fish. At 11 we headed into West Yellowstone. We went first to a Mexican café near the IMAX theater. After lunch we went to the IMAX theater and saw the Lewis and Clark movie which was quite entertaining and beautifully done.
We walked across the street to the Yellowstone Historic Center. A park ranger was just starting to give a half hour talk out front, so we stopped for that. He talked about Presidential involvement in the park from Grant to Ford. He had some interesting tidbits. The Center, even though small, had a lot of interesting exhibits. I especially like the ones that discussed with text and photos early tourist activities in the park. They had an amazing half hour movie on the 1959 earthquake that was much better than the one at the Earthquake Center.
We looked into a couple of shops and then headed back to the RV to start packing up. It has been a wonderful two weeks. Yellowstone is truly a magnificent national park. The variety of landscape, thermal areas, wildlife, wildflowers is awesome. I can only say that one should come here for at least a week. Having two weeks here, we didn’t miss much and yet we didn’t have to rush. Tomorrow we have an overnight in Missoula MT before arriving at Glacier on Wednesday.
