Take at look at some of the “water features” from our last trip. How many different types are there? How would you figure out what they are called? And do you ever just sit back and wonder at the craziness of the things that Mother Nature comes up with?
Be sure and turn your audio up–and listen to the amazing sounds!
After much ado–we finally got our contracts today. We will both be working as “front desk agents”. Tim gets the Snow Lodge & I get the Old Faithful Inn.
I would have to admit that there is some trepidation. This will be like going back to college; living in a dorm with bathrooms at the end of the hall; eating in a cafeteria. There is little doubt, however, that the environment will be wonderful. I will be able to walk out the door of the hotel during a break and watch old Faithful erupt–and see the buffalo grazing in the geyser fields. (The background image on this blog was taken from the parking lot of the Old Faithful Inn). Here’s the google map of the old faithful area
Over the next few weeks we will have to decide how to “deacquisition” ourselves–what’s the minimum we can get by with (I think the baseline will probably involve cameras, computers and knitting). There is no TV reception in the park but the dorms promise wireless Internet. It will indeed be a lifestyle change–a refocus. I can’t help but wonder which of these changes will hold over when we return.
