Geysers

Sunset from Canyon Lodge Deli. 6/4/16

Work has taken over my life.

The past two days as shift lead have been insanity. The entire food and beverage department is understaffed, so we are all working ourselves to death trying to keep up. I stayed to help the dish crew on Friday night, and we were there until 2 in the morning. Every time that things are going well, I'm just anticipating the next rush and waiting for yet another large, essential appliance to break (we're down two fridges in the deli currently). Because of the crazy hours and exhausting days, I have not had the time/energy to do much hiking or exploring.

Aside from the metaphorical geyser that is my work life, a few of us went to Old Faithful before work on Friday. We hiked up to Observation Point, then back down. We made it to the bottom right in time to see the geyser go off. After all the hype, I was a little disappointed, but it was still pretty cool to see in person. It's one of those things you just have to do while in Yellowstone.

Last night at work, I looked out the windows to see one of the most incredible sunsets I've ever seen, and that's coming from the girl who swears that Arizona has the best sunsets in the world. I had to step outside to get a picture. The picture from my phone doesn't even come close to showing how amazing it was. It went on for almost 15 minutes too, and it stayed incredibly beautiful the whole time. It made my evening ever so slightly better.

I'm so ready to have Wednesday and Thursday off so I can finally get back out there and do some hiking. I still have a huge amount of this park left to explore, and I can't wait to grab my camera and take off.
