Yellowstone (the Second Middle)

The same day we went on a huge hike. Like, 7 miles round trip in thin mountain air. But we saw Fairy Falls at the end of it, which, despite the girly name, is absolutely gorgeous. But crowded with tourists. Later we found out that there was a 1 mile walk from a parking lot that'd get you there as well.

That night we built a fire and started to roast marshmallows. I'm such a bad vegetarian. Mmmm. Cow hooves. But anyway, after about 20 minutes the sky turned green. Like, big freaking huge storm green. And there were massive bolts of lightning going absolutely crazy.

So we bolted into the tent, and like, 5 minutes later it started to monsoon.

Which really sucked.

But anyway, the next day we left, and got stuck in 4 traffic jams due to 2 black bears, and 2 herds of bison.

The second time we didn't see the black bear immediately, and so we pulled over to ask a guy what was going on.

"What's out there?"

"It's a baahh!" the man said, in an unfortunately thick Australian accent.

This was met with a universal "what the hell" from everyone in the car.

It took us a good 20 minutes to figure out what he meant.
