Day 70 Mile 1060

Thermopolis has some of the coolest geological features including the worlds largest mineral hot springs. They have a wonderful state park there with pools and hot spring baths for people to enjoy. We also went to the Dinosaur Museum and examined the fossils form the North American continent most of which came right of this region here in Central Wyoming. We saw triceratops, and T-Rex and Hydrasaours, and enjoyed the gift shop. We had supper at the old town Thermopolis Cafe that looked like it hadn’t changed a bit in 40 years and I had a skillet omelet where they cooked the eggs, the hashbrowns and all the fixins all right in one skillet and it was real good. We stopped in at a quaint little cottage motel and got their last cabin only because they had had a cancelation. This time of year everything around these areas is booked in advance. In our room we watched the Live Earth Concert and I got on the internet and pledged to do my part to be earth conscious and you should to! Go to the website www.liveearth.org. The concert was great and I watched all night. When I switched channels, for some reason Fox news was bashing the concert, its concept, and its organizers... I don’t know why;-) The Concert had 11 venues on 7 continents and had some of the greatest performers of our time all together for one wonderful event. The short films broadcasted throughout the program were informative, artistic, and clever. The iPhone commercials aired every break really made my day! This is how you turn it on... Yahoo!
