Last Day at the IMAX

Today was our last day working at the IMAX this summer. We took a few pictures.

This was actually last Wednesday, Leanne and Rita take a break from folding t-shirts on Rita's last day at the IMAX.

Carlos and Jerry (not pictured) taught Marlon everything about being an IMAX projectionist.

The film is loaded and ready to go.

Marlon watched over 700 IMAX movies this summer. Many of them were called Yellowstone.

Delfino hopes no one threw up in the movie this time.

Two early patrons got their pick of seats.

The IMAX screen is six stories tall and 80 feet wide.

Candice awaits the next tour group.

Doug and Delfino hold up the counter.

The next day the IMAX Theatre was deserted as the winter season started. The winter season schedule as of now is Wednesday through Sunday 1:30pm to 9:00pm.

Saying Goodbye to Yellowstone

Our final trip into Yellowstone National Park this year was filled with several good sightings.

We saw this coyote jumping into holes hunting for some food.

Headed to Black Sand Basin...

A raven waited around to see if anyone would drop any tasty morsels.

Looking down Iron Creek at Black Sand Basin while a small geyser erupts.

And more of Black Sand Basin...

Upon arrival at Biscuit Basin, we found that we humans were not alone.

The bison (aka buffalo) calmly waited for all the humans to pass...

to give itself a good head scratching on the boardwalk...

and then slowly make its way across to the other side to promptly relieve itself.

Splish, splash we're not taking a bath in Mustard Spring.

It was kind of steamy at Midway Geyser Basin today.

On Firehole Lake Drive, we came across the Great Fountain Geyser. It erupts about every 12 hours and it was "scheduled" to erupt in about 45 minutes, so we decided to stick around and wait.

We waited and waited. The approximate time of eruption came and went. We waited another 30 minutes for the inevitable.

The wait was rewarded as the Great Fountain is one of the largest and most dramatic geysers in the park.

This cone-shaped geyser is Castle Geyser. It too only erupts a couple of times a day. It erupted while we were waiting for Great Fountain.

A Look Around West Yellowstone

One of the unique little motels in West Yellowstone has a lamp sitting outside of it.

When they have a vacancy, they leave the light on for you.

The Yellowstone Family apparently lives here on Yellowstone Avenue.

The building actually used to be Yellowstone Family Pharmacy, but we guess the family got out of the pharmacy business.
