Yellowstone National Park Aug 21, 2007

We are in Yellowstone Nat. Park. We have extended our stay 2 more nights as there are so many things to see. We did all the thermal areas, so fascinating! Today (Fri) we set up the Portaboat and rowed around Lewis Lake, no one else but us on the lake. It was great, weather sunny and not too hot. The lake was like glass until the way back, then the wind started up but luckily it was a tail wind so we called it a day. Tomorrow we will check out the last of the thermal spots (Norris geyser basin) and Mark wants to do some fly fishing. We did the Geyser Basin (almost 5 miles) then went to the Madison River and Mark went fly fishing and the boys and I stayed under a shady pine. We took some walks along the river and watched a group of Elk cross the river. The rest of the time the boys played with each other while I read. It is really windy but there are about 4 die hard fly fishermen (including mine) out in the river fighting the wind. NO FISH! We leave on Sunday and go to the "Grand Teton National Park" for 2 or 3 nights .I will tell you about that next.
