Historic breakfast

We had a long night. A long drive to get to Yellowstone. A challenging approach to the Old Faithful Inn wherein we were ambushed by some 100 bison.

Once at the Inn, we carried our over-stuffed luggage up numerous flights of wooden stairs that creaked and cracked with every step.

We woke up knowing we have 8 hours of hiking ahead of us. We needed fuel.

The easy choice was a great breakfast in the Dining Room on the first level of the Inn. It's hard to truly describe this space, pictures simply do not do it justice.

We each ordered egg dishes, accompanied with thick-cut smoked bacon and the best coffee I had since we left Georgia. Fluffy eggs, salty bacon, and hearty dark coffee.

And we didn't need our Swedish-Army flint to fix this great meal.
