Day 5 - Iowa 2007
We watched old faithful go again. It goes about every hour and a half. We then went thru other gyser areas. Man does this area stink. The springs really stink, the mud holes are kinda cool they pop bubbles. Quinn keeps calling then "Sh.ooters". We stopped at one for about 45 minutes waiting for it to go I guess it only goes once a day. It was alot more bursty than old faithful but you sit alot closer so its a diffrent experience. We ran into some more buffalo on the way out of the park. The funny thing here is they were on the other side of the river so I was wonder if they knew how to swim, and then what do you know they start crossing the river. Guess that answers that question. So we had to wait while they crossed the road then all of a sudden there was some weird noise they were making and .i heard it from behind us and here come about 5 of them at a full out run to catch up with the others. I heard they can travel up to 30 miles an hour and boy is that a site. We also saw a moose on the way out of Yellowstone with her baby. But no bears. We almost hit one elk and one deer, but their suicide attempt failed thank goodness. The road isnt the best you come out of yellowstone and its flat as flat can be then all of a sudden you have to go thru a pass that seems to last forever. The speed limit is high but at night the dumb deer are all over the place. We drove to devils tower for the night. Saw a porcupine in the campground and a skunk crossing the road
