After David completed his work telecons in the morning, we headed back to the Upper Geyser Basin since Leslie wanted to see Old Faithful erupt one more time and maybe see Grand Geyer erupt as well. It was almost 2:30 when we approached the parking lots for the upper basin. The parking lots were packed and there were a lot of cars circling to get a spot. We got lucky and someone pulled out of a spot big enough for the Behemoth to fit. We strolled to the visitor center to find out when the next eruption of Grand and Old Faithful were expected. We had an hour to kill, so we walked over to the bar in Old Faithful Inn for a drink. While we were there, we checked on the possibility of dinner reservations at Old Faithful Inn restaurant and were told they had been booked up for over 6 months! We then strolled out to the viewing area. The times for Castle, Old Faithful and Grand geyser eruptions overlapped. So we opted to see Old Faithful and then make our way to Grand. Unfortunately, as we waited for Old Faithful to erupt, we could see in the distance Castle Geyser erupting and then through the trees, Grand Geyser, erupting. So much for our plan. We headed back to West Yellowstone and stopped at the Slippery Otter for dinner before heading for the Wanderer.
