The Big Spring

Waking up early. Frost on the car. Heating the engine while taking down the camp. Driving to Madison Village. First one there. Waiting to open. Other cars show up. Eating a bit of food. 8 o'clock on the dime. Madison filled up. Bridge Bay Campground it is. Shower first. No time limit. Stopping by the visitor's center. A rundown of all the trails. Circles everywhere. Quick stops nearby. Upper Falls. Lookout point. Grand View. Bear eating Bison spectacle. Dragons Mouth Spring. Mud Volcano. Setting up camp routine. Quick nap. Packing for the day. West Thumb Geyser Basin. Black Pool. Old Faithful. Waiting around like performance art. Black Sand Basin. Biscuit Basin. Midway Geyser Basin. Lower Geyser Basin. Excelsior Geyser Crater. Fountain Paint Pot. So many Asian people. Missing the sunset. Cooking dinner. Trouble with the fire. Burning all the art books. Paper towels seem good. Trying to stay warm.
