Moominmama's Adventures: Yellowstone Redux

Moominmama spent five weeks working in Yellowstone National Park two years ago when COVID precautions dominated the experience. I wasn't going to write about the park again this year but the experience was so different this time that it seemed worth sharing in at least one post. For starters, the Moominhouse and I were in an entirely different RV park, near Old Faithful. That meant I was living amongst geothermal features (Grand Geyser above) for all five weeks, and seeing steam coming from the ground wasn't quite so unnerving after a while. I had an opportunity to do some new hikes, and hang out in the Old Faithful Inn with some new friends. That's thanks largely to my new friend Janice, who during our orientation collected all our phone numbers and got us on a group text, setting up wine dates and hiking trips with one another. We often met after work in the evenings...
