Cody, WY

I’m in Cody, Wyoming tonight. Tomorrow I start the long (1300 mile or so) run to Chicago. There probably won’t be many pictures along the way (I’m taking I-90, despite my pre-trip plan to take I-94 – I expect this will be a bit warmer). Right now the car has about 9800 miles on the odometer.

Yellowstone – Day 2

Today was another day of driving around Yellowstone. This time it was taking the north loop. Lots of pictures.

One of Yellowstone’s many waterfalls:

Bacteria growing in a thermal spring. The different colors represent colonies living at different temperatures:

Constant Geyser. So named not because it goes off continuously, but because it is one of the few non-periodic ones with frequent eruptions:

Black Growler, a steam vent:

The Dragon’s Mouth, a vent that is receding into the hillside, forming a deepening cave:

A bison with places to go and things to do (so he’s taking the highway):

And my Atom, in case you’ve forgotten what it looks like:
