More Geocaching............



after leaving the Old Faithful area. We drove north toward the Madison geyser area where another virtual cache was located. It turned out to be a humongous, steaming pool which I thought was really neat. I even allowed my picture to be taken with it. We then found a historic marker about captured tourists. Seems a stagecoach was attacked by either bad guys or indians......anyway a couple of people were killed so the sign gave a bit of history about the event. Drove up the road a little further and another cache was a grave site whose owner met his demis at the tender age of 30. The spot was actually a picnic area complete with several benches and even a vault potty. You'd never find these places even though it was less than 1/4 mile off the main highway unless for geocaching. Up the road again and Becky found some more wild animals to photograph. She seems to get a lot of rear end shots.....I don't know why (?). Last cache of the day was a waterfall/canyon area. We even got a bench mark bonus here. Have to remember to log it, couldn't get a very good picture of it unless you climbed over the wall and stretched out into the canyon for a better picture. Opted not to do that.
