Ice cold spring TO take q drink, and
during the walk the ice formed on mvt
whiskers. On the way back to camp 1 |
made mp my mind to take q run, 80 L |
start ted and ran for half mile; when 1 |
got near camp commenced to yell at
the top OF my voice, and in that country |
sound travels and echoes.
There war quite . number Of persons l
occupied in the vicinity, and when they
and my partners heard me coming you
should have seen all hands getting out |
to see what wss the matter, but kept
1t up until l reached the camp. One
of the comrades asked me IL l WAS
going crazy, aud told him no, that /
had just got there 1 thought the run
would supple me- up,ss was not Accus-
toned to horseback riding, and / am
Had TO say that 1t had the desired effect
The previous day We had rode twenty
three lies, be.ides stopping to see the
sights, and 1t vas big job for me; i
was 9 lad 70 stop at night and aluost
ieorry to beaiD the next days ride, as
my eaddle did not seem to fit At every
point as / wou Id have desired 1t to fit, so
you may be sure that / did not have
, IN uch comfort until the trip was over
We went 10 see the "Paint Pots" they
are hot springs, but instead of throw
ing up hot water they throw up hot
nd, which has all the appearance Of
paint and is Of different colors and
shades. We passed through "Gibben
Canon" which is named after General
Gibben, an old Indian fighter. This 10
I. 2, 900 feet deep, and the wall on both
? sides looks very nice, the scenery being
grand.
Il There Ia foot bridge over the river
and very handsome waterfall; also
, la hot springs and hot basin. After
looking ut everything Of interest we
a paced on until we arrived at Fire Hole
: river, where we stepped and ate our
ldinper, after which we again started
!, on our journey, but got caught In q
!, = rain, but we cared little for 1t, as II
was warm. Daring the afternoon we
saw several ground hogs and grouse.
eel"Fire Hole" river has many interesting
- points, and Its elevation 10 7, $50 above
1.-The level OF the sea. There
|, lis large bot spring there which is 30
u fe+t wide. BY going close to 1t ant
" looking down into It's depths, . person

= there for years. 1t 10 not known posi-
"a lively how they got there, but 1t is SUP

90 edge and fell in, or stAmpeded ant

~ shining brightly and cast its rays dowl
in The spr ing when we were there, and
y IL made II look splendid. There 10

} the full moon could bee seen on tn
rs other, and at once called 1t the "Bui
* falo Full Moon Geyser." The waite
We has a green ish cast, and the view fron

20 Looked very dangerous.
Ae The "Gem Hot Spring" Is also in thi
no vicinity 1t Is 20 feet wide and 80 fee
on long, and has q formation near the bo'
es tom which bears close resemblance
20 house. There is also large cave o
nu one side which is quite green, and b
sn walking around 1t, 1t looks like pal
~ orama, 8till II has a ireaoherous appea
us anoe, and as the water is boiling hot "
'.a did not attempt TO examine 1t yer
IN clcsely. We also saw one called "It
eei Mortar" and arrived just time to see
Gu go of 1t has chimney, and throw
US hogsheads of boiling water ever

%Uu % There are great many other geyse
we and hot springs in this neighboorhoo
m but l shall lot speak Of any except Il
,el most interesting ones, as 1t would tai
leu months TO examine and describe the
lan. When we left "Fire Hole" riv
cry we started for the Upper Geys
II Basin" as that was the place where '
ore wished to camp for the night. On t
.He' way we saw three large sand hill crane
isa they stand fully six feet high, and j
o, enormous birds. When we reached t
g, basin, almost the first thing we So
'hg was what is called "Hell's Half Acre
