We forgot to include a picture of Old Faithful with the previous post.
After driving to a few more geysers, Fountain Paint Pots (that looked more like "mud pots") and seeing a coyote searching for its dinner in a meadow, we were stopped by two Bison walking down the middle of the road. We had been in Yellowstone for three days. Before heading north into Montana, we made a short detour to Idaho's Mesa Falls Scenic Byway. The upper and lower falls were a few miles apart. The picture is of the lower falls. It was smaller, but John thought it had more character. A little while later Carol noticed a lot of blue objects in a field, and then she realized there were dogs beside them. She asked John to stop,and she made her way to a house close by. When a lady opened the door, Carol introduced herself and asked if she could take some pictures. Janet said she would put on her boots and go out with Carol to the fenced-in area. She also invited Carol to go inside the enclosure so she could pet some of them. She has 50 dogs and does participate in sled-dog racing. Carol gave her a big hug as a thank you. The blue objects were plastic barrels used as dog houses. In the afternoon we drove to the headwaters of the Missouri River, located at a Montana state park. The three rivers that merge to form the Missouri are the Gallatin, Jefferson and Madison.
