We really haven’t gotten an early start any morning, but we got off a little earlier today and the line was still long to get into the park. We plan on fishing a little more today. We made the entire Grand Loop heading south on the loop first. We fished on the Firehole River and the Yellowstone River. Phillip caught a trout on the Firehole River. I got pretty good at fly fishing. J. We had a nice lunch with a view of the thermal features that are a little North of Old Faithful. We did some exploring around Yellowstone Lake and found several pretty spots on side roads.
The traffic this trip has been so bad! It was more crowded than we have ever seen. Today we did not get out and walk around any of the thermal features, etc. It is just too crowded and half the people are not wearing masks (we are). I just decided it was too much exposure.
There is a fire just south of Old Faithful (named the Lone Star Fire) and we notice the smoke today on the southern part of the grand loop. We got back to the camp ground and noticed that it was still smoky in West Yellowstone. Our eyes are burning, we are sneezing and coughing….we feel like we are getting a cold, but it is the smoke. We decided that we should probably head out tomorrow to get away from the smoke.
Our route for this day:
Today and yesterday, Phillip fished on the Madison, Gibbons, Firehole and Yellowstone Rivers. I fished on the Firehole and Yellowstone today.
