The afternoon temperture got much warmer on this cloudless afternoon. After luncheon and checking into our rooms at the Old Faithfull Inn, the expedition split up to explore the largest collection of active geysers in the world.

The famous Old Faithful and many other geysers were located on the upper geyser basin. Some of us climbed another 0.5 miles higher toward a higher elevation to look down at the basin. It was at 2030 hours I took a panoramic picture of the valley floor below in the fading glow of the setting sun.

Later back at the inn we sang songs by Lerner & Lowe, Gershwin, Porter, and others, with the resident pianist as the accompanist.
