Yellowstone

Often, the hardest decision you'll be forced to make at Yellowstone is "should I people watch or take in all the sights?"  Numerous times during this trip, I have been impressed by the large, large spectrum of people National Parks attract.  This awe was even more exaggerated at Yellowstone.  There were so many languages, styles, ethnicities, nationalities, a large selection of dogs, a plethora of accents (and Suzanne added to the selection by speaking in accents from time to time), and some amazing, one of a kind, choices of outfits.

We finally decided that the people were not nearly as interesting as the Yellowstone's natural features.  They were quite amazing!  Here are some geyser pictures...

 This seems like a warm place for a bear...

Shout out to Timm and Teri Johnson and their Wing and a Prayer BBQ!

An engineer's worse nightmare...

And some from the canyons and waterfalls.

To get to this viewpoint, we had to take a 300+ stairwell down.  It was a pretty taxing hike back up the hill.  On our way back from a canyon trail, there was a 8th/9th gradeish boy texting at the top of the trailhead. S and I laughed about the absurdity of him texting in Yellowstone. Then, around the corner, we saw his mom who said she was waiting for her family who was still down the hill...
K - "I think your son is at the top of the trail texting". 
Mom - "Really?  ... He's busted" (with a kind smile)
K/S - begin backpedaling... "he may just be checking the time", "we could be wrong", "I'm not sure..."
Mom - "No... it's texting."  Yells, "__(name)__, come here... you've been busted!"
K/S - run up the hill... far, far away.

AND... We went to the Continental Divide!
