no sleep the night before = naps on the bus
Another day of mini-geysers, paint pots, pools, and steam vents (also known as fumaroles).
Ben understood the sign. Do NOT step off the trail!
Walker and Uncle Greg, walking along the Lower Loop of Yellowstone.
We appreciated this guy and his camcorder!
I think these are called "mats" - the very malleable surface near the geysers. You can see some old bison footprints! Apparently they go everywhere.
The Grand Prismatic Spring is GORGEOUS. The pictures don't do it justice.

I don't remember what this mud pot was called, but it was super bubbly.
An explanation of the mud pots, the hot springs, and the fumaroles.
Not sure why I took this picture? Maybe it has some significance?
Beautiful!

Arrival at Brooks Lake Lodge! Lainey found the dogs immediately. This is Jed.
This dog's name is Dayle.
