bison and big geysers

oh im so sorry i havnt been on earlier. we have not had a chance to be at the office, and technically im not supposed to e here now. but i just had to tell you about how amazing all the geysers are. no matter how many i see, i never get tired of watching the steam curl and flucuate above the crystal blue pools. its hard to believe how bright blue they are! i will post a picture soon. its as if the sky fell into them. around the edge it is bright orange, but that fades to yellow, then green, then the most brilliant azure. if the wind pulls the steam back long enough, you can gaze into its seemingly endless depths. it just fades to blackness, forever and ever. it almost looks serene enough to dive into, but unfortunetly that would be certain suicide. the water is over boiling point at this altitude. once a man did dive in after his dog, which didnt know how hot it was. the man tried to scramble back out, and people helped him, but the water was so hot, it boiled his skin off. the flesh came off as they tried to grab his hands.

we have been watching a dying bison about 50ft off the side of the road. its been there at least four days, and my mom suspects a breached birth. it lays there heaving and then thrashes wildly with its legs. apparently there are no predators in the area. we pulled over in hopes that some may appear, but no such luck. instead, we got a whole lot of people to stop along with us. thats the funny thing about yellowstone; if one person pulls over, they wont be alone for long. thats a good way to look for wildlife too tho; if you see a lot of cars pulled over, somethings bound to be there

i gtg now. they need the computer back.
