It  never really feels like you’re here until you sit and watch Old Faithful blow….No matter how many times you’ve seen her, it’s never the same.  Being good geyser gazers Tim & I looked up the eruption times, so we new it would go off in about 20 minutes…in contrast to the other 20 or 30 folks waiting.  Tim ended up explaining everything to a group of Chinese tourists…they were most interested in statistics and numbers and were quite puzzled why this major tourist attraction did not have an airport closer  (They had flown into Cody, picked up a car, drove to the East entrance–which is closed–and then had to drive to the North entrance–they must have been on the road for 5-6 hours just to see Old Faithful).
This is actually one of the most wonderful things about being here–it’s helping other people understand more about what they are seeing and why it’s so amazing…it’s also a chance to welcome foreigners to this country and to help them see America at it’s best.

Tim excels at it…and thoroughly enjoys it.

Here are a few other pix from our opening day.
