Day 6

       Not much to note today. We woke up rather early this morning and went to see the Mammoth Hot Springs. Though slightly disappointed due to the fact that the majority of the feature has dried up and is starting to crumble, we were able to see some new features forming for future generations.
       After Mammoth, we left Yellowstone and set out toward our next destination: Great Falls, MT. After a decent 4 hour drive through the ever changing landscape (we even saw the tail end of a cattle drive), we arrived at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, which was thouroughly enjoyable for all of us! We then saw the Giant Springs: a large freshwater spring that flows into the Missouri River and headed to our lodging for the night.
       Now we are in our hotel, which is a nice Best Western with good wifi. Kendal and Dad went to the pool, and we are also doing laundry. Tomorrow we venture into Glacier National Park so... Adios!           ~Logan
RTC:
Grandma: I think the horse won, because the little ground squirrel went flying into the brush! No fireworks except for the lightning in the sky. >.< That smoke alarm scenario doesn't sound pleasant, but I'm glad it turned out okay! =) Looking forward to that jam!!
