Chiro Couple: Day 16 A buffalo back up on the way to the Tetons

It was 31 degrees this morning when Vernon disconnected the hookups and hitched the camper up! Here is our view this morning from our campsite:

Looking west from our campsite this morning

On the way to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful, we passed a field with horses in a frosty field.

The buffalo traffic back up

We were held up for nearly 10 minutes in traffic. Apparently this buffalo was walking up the road and people were stopping in their cars to take pictures causing the back up!

He finally decided to cross the road -- and chose our truck to pass in front!

Then around to the driver's side -- Vernon could have reached out and touched him!

The steam coming up from the Madison River in the early on a cold morning is different from the steam coming out of the ground in the next picture:

This is steam from the 'mudpot' field up ahead. They warned not to step into the mud because the mud is so full of sulfuric acid, it could eat away your shoe.
It was like driving through some fog from the heat bubbling out of the mudpots hitting the cold air.

Guess whose lovely feet these are! I couldn't resist seeing what this beautiful, clean water felt like. I loved that this lake was so easily accessible from the road.
