The pelicans were huge!
Today we drove to the Canyon area and hiked along the South Rim trail to Artist’s Point and back. We were going to take the Uncle Tom hike down to the bottom of the canyon, but it was closed (perhaps a blessing since it’s a stairway down 400’). The area is called the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone for a reason. There are 2 beautiful falls, and high walls full of colorful minerals. It was another gorgeous day. Except for those first couple of thunder showers, we’ve had clear, sunny and downright hot weather. Temps have been in the 70-80 range during the day and 35-50 during the nights. We also stopped at the LeHardy Rapids, and saw several fish in the water trying to make their way up the rapids to spawn. Gene took some great pictures of the pelicans waiting to do their fishing. We played cards in the afternoon, and Marilyn cooked a roast in her oven for dinner. We enjoyed a hot fire until dark, and then retired. We were taking our showers inside Howie, when Harris discovered we were running out of water entirely. So, we drove down to the dump station to get more water at 10:30 PM. We didn’t want the pump to burn out and we wanted water for morning. Surprisingly, we had to wait in line! There were 3 other RV’s waiting to dump. But we got some water, returned to our site, finished our showers and hit the sack.
