Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1929 - Old Faithful Lodge, Yellowstone Nat’l Park


After breakfast this morning I left some films to be developed and then we went down and got loaded up. Again I’m not going to describe anything. The first thing we encountered were the Wind Volcano and the Dragon Mouth. Interesting volcanic formations. We didn’t stop at the canyon because we come back that way tomorrow. We went across to Norris Junction. We stopped on that road and the Cascades. Beautiful and rugged. From Norris we went down to Old Faithful where there is another settlement. On the way we stopped at all the geyser basins. Each one is different and full of new things. As we neared Old Faithful we didn’t stop as it was near noon and we had all afternoon to go back. We had lunch at Old Faithful Inn where we had a letter from the Fergusons. We were waiting for O. F. to erupt when the ground started and we rushed over there as it all is active once a day. We came back and saw Old Faithful. Later we saw the giant and the castle erupt which was quite unusual. All afternoon we visited pools and geysers. After supper we heard the “Sermon On Th Mount” at Bear Feeding Grounds and then an illustrated lecture on Y.N.Park.
