Geo: 44.6622, -111.103The big reason for our detour back into the U.S. is Yellowstone National Park. DH was eager to see how it matched up against her memories of the Saturday morning adventures of one of her favourite childhood heroes- Yogi Bear of "pic-a-nic basket" fame.

There are more geysers in Yellowstone than anywhere else on earth.

Bubbling upward, the steam expands as it nears the top of the water column. At a critical point, the confined bubbles actually lift the water above, causing the geyser to splash or overflow. This decreases pressure on the system, and violent boiling results. Tremendous amounts of steam force water out of the vent, and an eruption begins.

Old Faithful

It is one of the most predictable geographical features on Earth, erupting every 35 to 120 minutes.

While we were here it was erupting every 91 minutes.

Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 US gallons of boiling water to a height of 106 to 185 feet lasting from 1.5 to 5 minutes.

The average height of an eruption is 145 feet.

Over the years, the length of the interval has increased, which may be the result of earthquakes affecting subterranean water levels.

Some great pics of a fabulous part of the USA and some wonderful insight into the limited brainpower of many of your fellow travelers. Just when you think that a memorialization in an obit couldn't get much worse than the words 'killed by
