We started the day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Against 9.20 clock we left and reached Butte 1.5 hours Nevada City. This was one of the mining towns of the mid-19th century had their wedding. Since 1940, however, only 2 people lived there, people began to old buildings from all over Western Monatana collect and set up again. The museum was closed, however, thanks to what we unvrschlossenen door did not stop a short walk through the streets of the old city to make. Everything was deserted, the old wooden houses against a backdrop of snowy mountains - one can imagine a ghost town but pretty good. Nevada City is located right next to Virginia City. In this city living but still people and Main Street has been preserved as in the days of the Wild West. Today there are However, it ordinary shops and restaurants.
came after another 2 hour drive, we in the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. After we paid our $ 25 entrance fee, we were unfortunately also reported that some roads are closed. For some, there are times when one may happen behind a pilot car in the streets. That raised our plan, of course, completely in ruins, and we had to improvise. Luckily we had booked a hotel room for tonight, because it would probably Gelg on the wrong side of the park. So first we went towards Old Faithful. Past anglers in shallow water fished and the planes in which - probably Elks - roamed in the more mountainous area. We also passed a herd of bison. Already at the Entrance we have received information leaflets, which we point out the dangers arising from the encounter with a bison get. The animals are very heavy and can still run 3 times faster than a human.
The landscape here is truly unique. Everywhere were the fog that came out of the geysers. Here and there gushed forth from the cracks in the earth's surface, regelreht shot out of some water. The Baketerien and fungi that have grown up around this fire holes around glittered in the sunlight in different Colors to the green of the pines and the blue sky with a few white clouds.
The impressions can be difficult to describe, I hope that the images may reflect the landscape better. Of course, was the visit of the most famous geyser Old Faithful on the program. The eruption of this geyser can accurately predict up to 10 minutes as he breaks out in time of 80-90 minutes. Unfortunately, we arrived 5 minutes late and drove us out now so the time with a stroll through the surrounding Geysirgegend. The visitors have to walk on a boardwalk, as the earth's crust is very thin in most places and bubbling below the water already in front of him and could collapse. There are always new outbreak sites from which, over time geysers.
Then finally it was so far and less than 2 minutes before the predicted time, then he also brought out. A few feet high shot out of the water surrounded by a large cloud of mist. After 1.5 minutes the show already over, the geyser has reacted to. On the way back to the West Entrance we came again past a bison, this time he waded through the river now.
In Madison, we ate at the Bull's angle in the evening before we were flying off again heading north. We do tomorrow morning to visit the Hot Springs m'Mammoth we unfortunately due road closures can not easily accessible from the park's roads. Accordingly, we do tomorrow morning to be near the North Entrance. We stay at the Best Western Mammoth Springs.
