At the end of our day in Yellowstone, we headed toward the east gate to take off to my cousin Les' house to stay the night, little did we know, but the gate didn't open till 8pm, yes pm, because of avalanche danger, it is safer to drive through when it is below freezing. So we got to spend about 2 hours here at this lake, before the gate opened. It actually was very cool, it is frozen across the whole thing except for about 1foot all the way around the outside edge where the water is like a hot tub. The kids kept asking if they could get in because it was so warm. It was the weirdest thing, but something to do with the underground weirdness sp? of Yellowstone, this lake is hot on the outer edge and the rest is covered with ice. Pretty cool, eh?
There were a couple very friendly bull buffalo that came wandering down to say hi, they got really close and so we decided to go into the car. The funniest thing happened though, there were these two spanish ladies who decided to walk up the road aways just to stretch their legs, they came running back yelling in spanish that the "buffalo were chasing them" according to Chas' translation. We see them running down the hill and the buffalo casually strolling behind them, we had a good laugh!
