Yellowstone was the cornerstone for the establishment of
National Parks in America. Hence, it became my dream to visit. By August, the
desire was so overgrown that it had outgrown my ability to resist, and as a
result, my family was flown to this well-known Yellowstone! The spirits were ebullient,
but the flight was turbulent! The flight was three and half hours from Atlanta
to Jackson Hole. Do you know that Jackson Hole is not a city? Hole is the whole
valley amid the majestic Tetons. The food rather tiny teeny-weeny almonds was
served on the plane. Our family was not seated together. I was not sure if
airlines were concerned about infighting on the flight. I also wondered if
Alexa alerted the airlines! In any case, I had suspicion if my co-passenger would
have opposition to my devouring of the delectable miniature snack. When he bent
down to fetch his bag, I quickly gulped the nuts innocently.
We were delighted to alight the flight and then proceeded to
get our rental car. When the Enterprise announced we were getting Ford-Bronco,
I imagined 1994 Bronco. However, it matched the small-scale snack package we
were recently treated to. Our delight declined as the air in one of the rear
tires also declined. Fortunately, Enterprise gave us an immense surprise by
providing us Toyota Rav-4 for the same rental price. How can we not praise the
Enterprise!
Yellowstone is a beauty to behold! Different terrains in
different places were delightfully engaging and enchanting. Waterfalls were amazing,
and the geysers and fumaroles were alluring! Wildlife was plentiful and
beautiful, but Bears were barely seen. The craving to see this carnivore was so
high that anyone uttering “where” would lead to the commotion of cameras for
Bears! But eventually, everyone would settle for chipmunk likeness. Bison were
bountiful. The herds of bison and buffaloes were a spectacle to behold. The
nonchalant behavior and majestic walk of these colossal creatures were captivating.
A thin fog percolating the picturesque pastures upsurged the beauty of the
background. Hordes of people would hurriedly stop to feast their eyes on these handsome
herds.
Coyotes were camouflaged and often eluded the eager eyes. We
were lucky to see one that was spotted by a patient enthusiast. Nevertheless,
we were jubilant! Lamar Valley is acclaimed for its array of animals.
Meandering through this valley was mesmerizing. We had a good peek at
Pronghorns too! Several others were lucky to gaze at the grizzlies and
distantly sight the wolves. I believe that the planets in our horoscopes did
not align for eight straight days to enable us to see them in the wild. We went
to Bear & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone town to satiate our senses.
However, one of the visitors staying at our hotel used to describe how they saw
several black bears with cubs and even grizzly bears. I was tempted to ask his
time and date of birth to compare our horoscopes. When we expressed our intense
desire to follow his route, he told us his deep desire to take a break that
day! I never thought my horoscope would
be so goofed up! My wife went and bought a birthstone ring for me to boost our
prospects.
Finally, we hiked up the Fairy Falls trail to see the gorgeous
Grand Prismatic. The colors were imposingly impressive as the hot spring stood
there, still giving us a lifetime thrill and killing our will to move from the
hill. However, the chill on the hill made us intensely seek grand peematic on
Grand Prismatic. Nature is powerful, and the call of Nature is, of course, most
powerful! With speed, we reached the rest area, we were sure we would have
broken the Olympic record of 1000 meters dash!
