Yellowstone National Park.
When I was planning our USA adventure Yellowstone was one of the cornerstones of the trip and here we are. The day arrived overcast, rain, cold, grey but I felt like waking up on a Christmas morning - anticipation!
Mid July is peak season, the park feels like Sandton City on a saturday morning month end, nose to tail traffic, parking lots overflowing with buses, RV's and cars, traffic jams at a wild life sighting and lines of people.
Old Faithful was the first stop and despite the people and the weather what a thrill. The wait, watching the ever changing steam, then the first signs of the boiling water and at last the whoosh of the geyser.
What a thrill and we got to do it twice.
