After Mammoth Hot Springs, we head toward our last stop–Old Faithful. It looks as though it’s going to rain, but fortunately it doesn’t. We’re tired when we get to Old Faithful, named in 1870 for erupting almost every hour and a half..faithfully. Oddly, Old Faithful was used as a washing machine that Sheridan’s men found cleaned cotton and linen, but ruined wool. 🙂 We sit on benches, glad for the break, waiting for the eruption. After it’s over, someone behinds us remarks (complains?) that it was 5 minutes early. We’re now ready to head back to the cabin, although we won’t arrive until 1:30 am, 3 1/2 hours short of a 24-hour trip, but well worth it.
This, that and the other thing
