Old Faithful

Sure, we have seen Old Faithful do its thing many times, but we just couldn't resist seeing it AGAIN -- so we left Fishing Bridge RV park early -- so early that we were the first ones in the parking lot at Old Faithful. After we watched it we walked over to the Old Faithful Inn . One of the old yellow buses was parked in the carport. We talked to one of the drivers and learned that 8 of the buses have been restored ($280,000 each!) and were re-introduced last summer. So we bought a ticket for the 45-minute tour. We learned that ours was a 1937 model and "back in the day" the Park had 120 white buses that picked up passengers who came to the park by train. They even picked up passengers as far away as Cody. It was fun to ride in the 14-passenger bus with the canvas top rolled back -- it was a beautiful day for a little trip in the mountains. There are longer tours -- 4-5 hours etc. But this one was just right for us.
