On a Car & Bike Ride through Yellowstone

One morning, we got up real early and drove to lower Yellowstone National Park, but had to be back up north in Mammoth for the dedication of the Yellowstone Association's new Headquarters at the old --(Mann?)--------- building in Gardiner, Montana. At 1:00 !!  Johnny had to do a news story, so as usual, we have Saturday's pleasures mixed with Monday News Stories.  The plan was to stop along the way and find places to bike ride. But the clouds, & then rain moved in & it got worse and worse.  So we drove on.  In the meantime, we have decided the best 2 places to take Jaymark and Juliet when they arrive, July 14.

Then we went for a bike ride south of Madison jct. at Fountain Flat Drive (behind the Lower Geyser Basin) towards Fairy Falls, and Midway Geyser Basin, stopping to rest at Goose Lake, and exploring off in the backcountry some.  So Coool.  At the end of our ride, we were rewarded with a coyote, as he ran right in front of my bike, (which is why I don't have pictures) and a bit later, this geyser, Ojo Caliente. This memory is infused into my memory as the sun was going down and everything was in  bright & vibrant colors.
