Fishing Bridge and Old Faithful

We had to stop off at fishing bridge, since we were staying at the Fishing Bridge RV site. 
This old bridge extends across the Yellowstone river as it flows out of Yellowstone lake.  It is the spawning site for the Yellowstone cutthroat trout and back in the day was "the" fishing spot.  However, to protect the fish the bridge has been closed to fishing for years.  But you can still stop and view those cutthroat as they pass under the bridge.  Jon just gets a thrill anytime he can spot fish in their natural habitat!
She's still holding tight to her "buttalo!"
He could use a hair cut!
Then we headed back to Old Faithful for one more visit.  Eden had been requesting the return trip all week.  Then when we arrived she had no patients for waiting on the geyser's blast! 
Thar she blows!
It was a really windy afternoon, and just as the geyser blew a huge wind gust hit.  Even though we were standing quite a bit away from Old Faithful, we got sprinkled with geyser spew!  Ewwwwe!
