4th of July 2014

 Zip found interesting places to lay while she was camping with us.  She stayed in the trailer when we went places.

 We decided to drive into the park on the 4th.  There were so many vehicles it was astonishing.  We decided to go the opposite from Old Faithful to get away from some of the traffic.

 We got some good pictures of buffalo.  They were right on the road in one place.

 Gibbon Falls.

 The Artists paint pots are back in aways but well worth the hike.

 A view from the walkway above.

 A "selfie"  I do not like pictures.

 The Falls by Canyon Village.

 The view was amazing.

 They call these falls and canyon the "Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone"

 Norris Geyser Basin.  We just looked from the top of this rim down to the geyser below.

 At 6:30 pm there was a parade for the 4th of July in downtown West Yellowstone.  They actually had a great parade for a small town.

 We attended the rodeo because it seemed like the thing to do on the 4th.  It was pretty lame as far as rodeos go.  Only lasted 45 minutes and not much there.  Oh well I guess you go for the atmosphere.

 We were able to pull right off the road and sit in the back of the pick-up for the fireworks show.

They had a great display to celebrate the birth of our country.  We had a great 4th of July!!!!!!!
