The Old Faithful geyser before eruption |
Zillions of people waiting for Old Faithful |
Thar she blows |

Another bubbling pool |

Some absolute-middle-of-nowhere Wyoming terrain enroute to Rapid City, South Dakota |
This huge thundercloud was forming as we landed. By the time we got to the hotel 30 minutes later, a severe storm alert was issued for the area. Good thing we didn't take our time that morning! |
Driving under the thunderstorm an hour or so later. These kind of bulbous clouds are called 'cumulonimbus mamma.' No kidding. |
|
Looking back at the storm... impressive. I wish we had real weather in California on occasion. |

I guess there is a limit on the number of 'Denny's' signs allowed in Rapid City... |

A pass in the mountains just East of Ogden, Utah, our planned fuel and lunch stop. |
Coming in for landing at Ogden. The airport is just off the tip of the wing. |
