Summer Vacation Redux #20: Yellowstone National Park

The high-point of this day was Yellowstone National Park.  A place with so many amazing and unique geological, geographic and scenic wonders.  We spent about 6 hours and came in and left through the southern entrance making the larger, southern (central) loop of the park's figure-8 core of roadways.  You can see that in that time we really did get to see a lot.
