We cooked a nice breakfast and went to Mammoth Hot Springs and walked on the boardwalk around the springs. Walking on the board walk over the hot springs on this cool morning was nice.
We took a ride to the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone NP to Cooke City. We saw herds of buffalo in Lamar Valley. They were everywhere. We stopped several times to wait for buffalo to get out of the road.
We ate a picnic lunch at Soda Butte Creek on the way back to Mammoth Hot Springs. We stopped at Wraith Falls and Undine Falls. Undine Falls was much more impressive than Wraith Falls.
The weather was nice today with the temperatures in the 70's. It was a gorgeous day to see the pretty sights of Yellowstone, then the temperatures dropped.
We came back and waited for the wind to die down before we built a fire. It finally died down, but was still blowing cold wind when we built a fire. We cooked potatoes and steaks on the fire pit. it was so cold that we pulled out our heavy, rain proof, wind proof, hooded jackets.
Tonight, Lauren finally told me how glad he is that he has his heavy jacket. When we were packing to leave on this trip in May, I insisted that we bring our windproof, waterpoof, camouflage jackets. Lauren assured me that they would not be needed.
By the way, we were cold with the campfire and the jackets. We were glad when the food was done and we could go inside.
When we were in Alaska, we wore these jackets almost every day. Every time we turned around, a man was holllering, "I can't see you. " It went right over my head. After a few times of hearing this, I asked Lauren, "Why is he always hollering this at us?" Lauren explained that it was because we were in camouflage. I think he needs to get a life.
We have traveled every entrance of Yellowstone NP and love each and every one. We consider our time in Yellowstone NP as being on a different planet.
