Saturday at Yellowstone

We packed a lunch and set out for the upper loop highlights this morning. We stopped at the upper and lower terraces near the hotel. This look like limestone mixed with steam holes. There are lots of paths to take and we walked one but then drove another trail which was more scenic.
We tried to see more in the lower part of the loop but the geyser area was very crowded and we couldn't even get a parking spot. Apparently not all parents have taken their children back home for school.
We went to the Roosevelt area late afternoon for our wagon ride and chuck wagon supper. The weather was threatening and chased us under a covered picnic area. It was a pretty good meal of steak,potato salad,beans, corn, a corn cupcake (as Emily likes to call them), watermelon and apple cobbler. Cowboy coffee was available for the brave.
We're back at the hotel now and have been arguing with our free internet access for quite a while and are quitting for the night. Farewell to all.
