最后一天要轻松游。

去roosevelt看瀑布

爬山累了，毕竟有高山反应嘛

奥特曼！不知道突然发什么神经，后面的阿姨看到也笑我，还说，that was really cute!

我也很能跳

功夫girl

yiting夫妇要去骑马，我们跟去拍照而已，刚好抓到这两只在调情

我身骑白马啊～～～

小鹿吃奶

另外一头公鹿，带着一群母鹿和小鹿，和前一天看到的那头是不一样的。后来听说之前看到那头是new comer，看来不久会有一场硬战，看到底谁能够统领这块地方。

另外一个小故事，公园管理员说的，去年，这里的一头number 6公鹿在穿越栅栏的时候受伤，去世了，那头鹿统领了这一片地区，很爱捣乱，撞坏很多游客车辆，因为脸部有个好似６的花纹，所以得名：number 6.　因为number 6去世，现在这块地方就是群龙无首，大家就期待一场搏斗吧，who wins, who will get all the ladies… :) 这就是生活啊。

去mammoth hot spring的路上，看到悬崖，风很大，感觉会被吹走，突然发现自己很恐高，不过李小伦倒是很自在！

这张跳得很高很棒！

————————————————————————————————————

先到达norris…

这个热喷泉不错

好蓝!

uh-oh…这个泉眼干涸了。

说到干涸，之前有游客把硬币投入泉水里面，然后把泉眼堵住了，科学家研究之后，要把那个小小的硬币拿出来很不容易，要动用大型的机器，可是会破坏其他的地貌，只好作罢。所以去旅游，千万要保护那里的环境地貌，不要破坏，按照公园指定的路来走，别傻傻的留到此一游，某某爱某某，或者投硬币期待好运的蠢蛋行为。

不知道是谁的便便，要踩踩看吗？之前有在一家纪念品店看到一本儿童书，叫谁在黄石便便了，就是介绍各种用不同的便便形状来辨认动物，很有趣。

——————————————————————————————————————————

终于到达mammoth hot spring

岩石都变各种颜色，黄，灰，白，粉

晚饭大吃一顿，我在正吮指刚吃的bufflo wings..

吃饭途中，大家都往窗外看，果然有好看的！一头漂亮骄傲的公鹿出現在草坪上。告诉你，这里的动物真的不怕人多。

我们吃完饭，他还在那里，而且还原地尿尿，给自己圈了一块地，坐下来休息。

走很近去拍。

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

晚上住宿的饭店有一个聚会，放slideshow。

刚好也让我们听到了一个真实的故事。

这个音乐家在１９９４年独自一人hiking（一人hiking很危险，应该要结伴一起，而且走的时候还要多多发出声音，这样会让周围的动物或者熊知道你来了），遭遇母熊和两只小熊，在这种情况下，应该缓缓后退，不要和母熊有眼神接触。可是他没有经验，直接想爬树，立马被母熊抓下来，所有这些事情就只是5-10秒钟发生的，最后他只能装死逃过一劫。

头，肩膀都是伤口，还要坚持走路4mile到大路上求救，幸好有一家人刚进入黄石来玩，救了他，他们这家人是第一次来黄石，也是刚进公园，看到一个满身是血的人冲出来求救，真是不知道什么感觉。

放映照片结束后，我们特别找他拍照。

当天晚上，我还看到了北斗七星，非常清晰，人生第一次见，很美！

第三天先出發去看west thumb的热喷泉，

通通都很安静平和。

牛仔帽是黄石必备，对我来说用途有限，只是拿来拍照纪念就好

野牛穿马路！

大批的野牛准备过河

下水了

this is the smart bison

野牛们都下水过河，已经开车到河对岸的我们开始对他们一顿狂拍。谁知道，竟然有只聪明的野牛不游水，从桥上走，当时只顾看风景拍照的我们一点没有察觉，

公园管理员已经在一直叫我们move move…我还觉得奇怪，什么都没，干嘛要我们走，等反应过来的时候，牛牛已经在我们面前了，我整个吓到，赶紧要快跑，这是最错误的示范！牛牛看我跑，马上觉得我有攻击性，被我吸引要来追我，别看牛个头大，速度快的很。进入公园之前就有安全教育传单上写，不要以为可以逃跑，要慢慢走，牛的速度是我们跑步的三倍。

就在我奔跑的时候，听到公园管理员大叫：stop running…这时候我才突然回神，放慢脚步，也不看后面情况如何，放慢速度，用走的穿到马路对面。牛牛也没有继续追我，反到去追李小伦他们三人！

可怜的三人只能拼命往山上跑，人影都没了，野牛追到半山就停下来打滚。总算逃过一劫。

可是三人逃上山之后就不见人影，一群牛开始过河，目的地就是这边的这座山，他们再不下来，不是要被大批的牛包围？我开始担心，还掏出手机想要和他们联络，叫他们赶快从山后下来，可是手机完全是no service…. 我差点要冲去找公园管理员说还有三个人在山上，这时候他们三人果然从另外一边下来了，原来另外一个管理员上去找他们，说this is a good time to leave….

万幸万幸。

这个真的不是玩的，还好我们大家运气好。之后一天听说有人真的被野牛撞飞出了意外。

——————————————————————————————————————————

收拾被惊吓的心灵，下午往canyon进发，去看经典的上瀑布和下瀑布。

之后又远远的看到一群野牛，远望就觉得安全很多了。

四人搞笑照

到了canyon竟然突下暴雨，赶快躲进车里，闪电雷鸣的时候，可不想在野外树林里逗留啊。雨很大，还夹着冰块。

雨稍停，我们便出發去看瀑布，有一个东欧的旅行团，游客很有创意，背着纸箱挡雨，绝！

还有个穿塑料袋的

喷泉在峡谷里，可以近观，也可以远眺，我们有驱车在各个角度观看，不过照片在此放一张就够啦。

来到住宿的地方，竟然门口就有一只只顾低头吃草的野牛。赶快搬搬行李，静悄悄的逃走。

公园里面每个住宿的地方都是统一的洗发水润肤露，还有可爱的小熊肥皂！

我们在丹佛转机，看到一位特别的空服人员。

看起来是不是有hellboy的feel?　嘿嘿

其实有点不好意思，人家是身体不好，却被我拿来取笑。

从丹佛开始到黄石，

一路上都出現分类的垃圾箱，

尤其是黄石，

很有环保意识，到处都是与环保相关的点滴信息。

去黄石，我有乖乖做很多功课，

在丹佛机场就借机复习一下咯

从丹佛转机去bozeman，这是距离黄石两个小时车程的小城，

真的很近了噢。

飞机上已经可以俯瞰黄石，

只是有气流，很颠簸，

再美也没有心情了。

最近飞机失事太多，不得不捏把冷汗。

Bozeman的机场已经完全没有其他机场呃现代风格，

完全是原始氛围，野生动物的模型也到处都是。

进入黄石前，先在路上一家famous dave's bbq吃午餐，

餐厅内部很有野味

这是在厕所门口拍的

告诉你噢，因为吃的东西太大一盘，所以是放在垃圾桶盖上的，是这家店的一大特色哈

———————————————————————————————————————

终于进入黄石了！

来张全家福

因为有些地方在修路，所以我们要乖乖听从指挥，修路的大多是男人，不过拿stop sign的都是女人，应该是男女搭配，干活不累吧。

说到每天都有惊喜，第一天是我们看到动物种类最多，热喷泉最高的一天。

几位没见过市面的游客

elk

moose

走进热喷泉，有股浓浓的硫磺味，

特别要注意，如果感到不适，就要马上离开。

热喷泉的水超级蓝，因为水中矿物质把阳光的其他颜色都吸收了，除了蓝色，

所以发射出来看起来特别蓝，和我们看到天空是蓝色的道理是一样的

明天就要出发去黄石了，在这里先踩踩，那里是原始公园，完全没有网络，广播之类的，要消失一个礼拜咯。

Lisa Marie Presley is in the unique position of being the daughter of one pop culture icon (Elvis Presley) and the former wife of another (Michael Jackson). When Jackson died Thursday at the age of 50, there were instant comparisons made to the death of Elvis who was just 42 when he died in 1977.

Lisa Marie wrote candidly on her MySpace blog Friday that Jackson feared his life would end early and tragically like Elvis. I admire her so much for the honesty in her writing and thank her for sharing it. Here are her thoughts on Michael’s death in their entirety and some parts that I found most interesting in bold:

Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can’t recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, “I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.”

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later   I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn’t predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.

The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.

I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not “a sham” as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a “Normal life” found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to “save him” I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened. His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn’t know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated. When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson’s being or actions.

I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying. I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision. The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret. Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation. At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now. He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be. I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.

I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.
