next to the campground there is a horse ranch were they rent horses we were taking a walk and saw them
Inside Old Faithful Inn – a composite image from 21 photos that Mike took; the beams are straight, not curved. That is an effect resulting from the blending of multiple images taken from one spot. Very different looking building isn’t it.
This is the dining room of Old Faithful Inn, on the second floor there is an over look to the dining room for picture taking — I don’t know if that is why it was originally put there of course, but that is what everyone does!
Before supper it was raining a little. We had planned on walking over to see the eruption again to pass a little time until our reservation at 6 but as it was raining we went upstairs to the balcony, part of it is covered so you don’t get wet and it has a perfect view of the geyser - it was a long and loud eruption.
After supper, a very short eruption. This geyser goes off about every 90 minutes so you see it often if you are anywhere near the building.

It’s an amazing building isn’t it? It was built the same year as the house that I live in, 1903. It’s not going to fall down anytime soon either. It’s really incredible to think about something as massive as the Inn, being built during the winter, and with the rather primitive tools that could be had (or made) back then. I can’t even imagine how they raised all those heavy beams. It really makes you think about what life was really like back then and how difficult it must have been. Sometimes I think life is hard out here on the ranch but in comparison….it’s a cake walk!
