West Yellowstone

Did 80 miles yesterday through the park. 15 miles today before hitting town and deciding I needed the day off. Since its been raining on/off all day, seems to have been a good choice. If its still raining tomorrow may take a full day off for real, and maybe even have another shower :0

Yellowstone park *is* amazing. Fields of steam floating past, the colours in the pools - the problem is there are so MANY people! It is packed. Its really hard to appreciate Old Faithful when you have to listen to a british man berate his wife to THINK before she opens her mouth to SPEAK to him. I want to come back in the winter/fall for a week. I think the park would be a lot easier to experience without all these people.

There was a good moment when I was unlocking my bike when a woman approached me - saying how they were behind me in their RV on a descent and paced me at 42 mph - which they couldn't believe - then when they finally passed me her two boys shouted :"And its a girl!"

hee.
