Memorial Weekend~

Because of the long weekend and being Singaporeans who always know how to maximize our resourses, we took the drive east towards the state of Montana, to Yellowstone National Park. It was another one of those super long drive. It took us about 12 hours odd in total to get to West Yellowstone, a small little town outside the National Park itself. We set off on Friday afternoon and reached at around noon today(Saturday). Went to explore some parts of the park in the afternoon till evening, and managed to catch some glimpse of the geysers and volcanic features in the park. Of course, we had to see Old faithful (some world renowned geyser) erupt spectacularly. More spectacular than that I would say, would be the Bison crossing on the road when we were driving out of the park. They weren't exactly crossing the road from one plain to the next, they were using the road to get from one place to another, just like how we use it, causing a massive traffic haul up in process. We were like THIS close to them, cos they were practically walking next to our car. 2 of them stopped and stared blankly into the brightness of the car's headlights before moving on. It was just an amazing moment..haha..Well tomorrow we'll be doing more of Yellowstone, before making use of the entire Monday to drive back to Seattle...so...I'll post pictures soon..
