San Francisco
It is a rare moment when everything is silent on the bus, the engine is running in rhythm and no one is crying or asking me for things. The sun is setting over the bay as we head west back into the city. It is so calming and rhythmic that one forgets that they are traveling, that you are in motion, speeding through time and that anything you do will not change your path, we are all just travelers, seeing and experiencing.

Stopped at salt lake for injectors, doing laundry for cloth diapering and ec. Babies sleeping, spivey tacos, drank coke, feeling asleep and a little cabin fever, like the shining, lost faith in art, has reverted to craft or commodity but both are slaves to money and etc... Think I'll nurture my writing.

Yellowstone
We left Salt Lake City, Utah after we had our injectors rebuilt and decided that we were too close to Yellowstone to skip it, so through Idaho we entered the West side of Yellowstone and headed south through the park. Even though the sun was setting, we began to see the smoke of the gysers rising from the grounds. It was amazing, we wondered what sort of land we had entered.
We parked at Old Faithful and spent the night in the parking lot. We woke in the morning, had breakfast and headed towards the famous geyser to watch it boil and spout water. I can't really say that it is something everyone should see, but Yellowstone Canyon is something amazing and its falls, something everyone should experience.
Like another planet, perhaps it was the cold air,or maybe it is always like this, but the area was filled with rising smoke and holes from the size of tennis balls to the size of a pond filled with boiling water. White, blue and orange like the iron that would rust our showers, sink and toilet in Macclenny.
Day two Yellowstone: is it simply that we have over populated and killed every co-habitant that when we actually see an animal we all form a traffic jam, we pull out our cameras, video cameras,cell phones, and drop our jaws and become paralyzed with awe.
We saw a male elk and female elk grazing and you would have thought that people were witnessing the resurrection.
The Canyon
Third day Gorda lost at night, found her across the road, did some easy trails that led to nothing spectacular. Yellowstone makes me a bit sad today, the bison or American buffalo wear the face of history of survival of a people that we killed just a lot faster then the buffalo are dying. One lone buffalo stands, his head looks heavy, we wonder why he is alone, he crosses the cold waters and disappears into nothing.
