Yellowstone and Devils Tower

Posted by Malena

Today we  went   to  Yellowstone.  We played license plate bingo.  I, Malena, won! The  first  day  we  were   there   we   saw   Bison. There  was a huge herd of  Bison   crossing   the  road. I almost   got   to  touch   one.  My  dad  found   Bison  hair  and   said  we  will  make  a  coat  for  our  guinea   pig.

We went horseback riding.  Our horses were Mohawk, Dodger, Cheyenne, Cobbler, Buddy and Pow Wow. We rode by the edge of Yellowstone canyon.  We did not see any animals.  That may have been a good thing because when we asked our guide what would happen if we saw a bear she said she has only seen a bear once on the trail in the 3 years she has worked there and it didn’t end well!  I guess it was every man for themselves!  We went over to see Old Faithful!  The kids were amazed at the height of the geyser. Their  guesses ranged from 2 feet to 50 feet.  It went about 100 feet. 

We left Yellowstone and went to see the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming.  We also enjoyed watching the prairie dogs.  After DT we headed to Deadwood.  We are planning 2 days here.  We had a nice time walking the town last night.  Today we are making a side trip to Mt. Rushmore.  This is the stop Jamie has been looking forward to most.  Afterwards we are planning on catching the Wild West show.  Yeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa!
