Wednesday August 15, 1934
Wed. Aug. 15. Noticed the first coal mines at Gillette, Wyo. At Greybull, Wyo. oil tanks everywhere. Here are Standard Oils refineries for 11 states.
Leaving Cody by way of Cody road we saw the wonderful Shoshone Dam and the $80,000 a mile road.
Entered the Yellowstone Park at Eastern entrance $3.00 license fee for the car regardless of how many passengers. Our elk horn was made a note of as people are not allowed to take them out of Y.N.P.
About the time we entered the Y.N.P. Geneva felt sick to her stomach for a few hours, I made the suggestion she was most likely seasick and Arlene said, “I should think it would be “scenery sick” instead.”
Drove by Sylvan Lake and Lake Eleanor, past Lake Hotel, Fishing Bridge, The Stinking Mud Geysers, Petrified Tree, and on to Mammoth Hot Springs. Went on a Guide Tour after supper, saw antelope, beaver, buffalo. $1.25 for cabin here. During the night a big brown grizzly tipped the garbage can right outside the cabin.
We happened to stop along a creek once while Roy walked back a few steps for some road information and Arlene said, “oh let’s all go swimming while he is over there.”
