Yellowstone and daredevil rabbits....

After taking in the sights of the Grand Tetons, we headed north for the hour or so drive to Yellowstone and the one thing in the whole park that I cared to see, Old Faithful. Learning that this was the largest concentration of geysers in the world and Old Faithful as being the largest, I was pretty fired up to see it. Enduring some traffic and tourists from all over the world, we finally got there and this is what we saw...

We stood there for a minute looking at it. We looked at each other. Lecia took a picture of it and then asked "ready to go?" And I said "yup" and back to the car we went. After the Tetons it really wasn't much of anything to see. Yellowstone Park is massive and with the road construction going on it took several hours to get out of the park. We drove all day long and encountered many deer along the highway. Some would stop at the edge while others crossed the road as if they owned it. It made for some nerve racking driving. We then stopped in Buffalo, WY for dinner. I had a buffalo steak for dinner which was lean, gritty, and gamey but I liked it. I could see how others wouldn't though. After dinner we headed to Gillette, WY where we decided we would stay the night. We were warned by the locals that we were in for 90 minutes on a dark freeway with more deer, but we didn't see any. What we did encounter were jack rabbits darting across the road, kamikaze style. It was almost as if they were crossing the road on a dare, cheating death with each pass. Lecia was driving at the time and it was pretty much her nightmare come to life. A vegetarians and lover all animals great and small, Lecia drove in the middle of hells half acre with furry, cuddly bunny rabbits running across the roadway. She missed every one of them by inches and to be honest, I still don't know how she did it. We reached Gillette without harming any rabbits... Lecia deserved a medal, but what she really wanted was a drink!!!
