I'm gonna show you how fast I can get my binoculars out from walking
wait do it again animal no wait wait whoa what's that animal
it is a duck that's how fast I can get these binoculars out at the ready
that was so slow another animal
now that was some speed right there ah
good morning Nick and I are on a bit of an adventure working our way towards Yellowstone
National Park and today we're just going to a little waterfall and maybe gonna swim it
is pretty my watch almost 100 degrees out so it's a hot one today so I think swimming will
be really nice and this summer I've just loved any kind of hiking with Waters like waterfalls
rivers lakes that kind of stuff and then tomorrow we're hoping to get up for Sunrise and head into
Yellowstone National Park so we're gonna get close to Cody Wyoming and try to Camp
somewhere around there wake up super early and then head into the park so I'm excited
it's just absolutely beautiful right now and ready to go swimming because I'm pretty hot
I am having a hard time
so hot I wish that you could smell this though all this Sage it's just
we're almost there though
see ya this is the first sighting
so pretty just taking a little break I think
I'm gonna get my hat nice and wet that'll feel really good
like there's gold in the water
it doesn't feel that cold actually so I think it's gonna be really nice
Cody Wyoming now and we just stopped at the grocery store to get some stuff for dinner
tonight and we end up getting a bunch of fruit too because just cold fruit on a hot day is so
satisfying so we're snacking on that and now we're gonna head towards Yellowstone National
Park and try to find camping outside of the park and then yeah hang out for the night what fruit
did we get um we got watermelon and pineapple and some strawberries but they're in the cooler
um they're so refreshing like really hitting the spot
perfect little campsite and it's only ten dollars so we're gonna
stay here tonight cook some dinner and just relax right
what do you think these are oh these are roses
for dinner tonight I'm just doing a sausage and spinach penne pasta I'm cooking it all in one pot
and you basically just add like enough water to kind of cover the pasta and then boil it in that
and mix it and add more water as needed until the pasta is basically Al Dente and there are a ton
of mosquitoes coming after me right now but this smells really good I'm really excited for this I'm
pretty hungry after that hike and like the full day in the Sun so it's going to be really good
I want to say like 10 to 12 minutes and I just kind of mix it every once in a while and most of
the liquid is gone now the pasta is cooked and it leaves a very creamy liquid behind because
you're not straining out any of that starch so for this tonight I also have some spinach that
I'm just gonna Wilt in there and then I have some pasta sauce but I probably won't need
all of this well I definitely I'll probably only use like maybe half of this and then I
have some heavy whipping cream and I'll do a dash of that in here and some Parmesan
is way down and yeah it's really creamy cooked no straining nice and easy spinach in here
my hair is still wet from that waterfall but the dinner is done it looks so good
but I was originally thinking I might want to put like a dash of this heavy cream in
there just to like make it super creamy and decadent but I realized I bought one of the
ones that doesn't really close that well so this might be a bit of a disaster trying to
put this in the cooler and get this home and I just don't really think it it needs it so
I'm not going to put that in there it's pretty much ready to go looks delicious
I have some Parmesan actually this is a three cheese blend Italian cheese
that's it for the night we're gonna hit the tent and then I will see you in the morning
for the Yellowstone National Park it is 5 30 and we are packing things up heading into the park
let's do it
dragon's mouth spring and I've already said wow a thousand times this morning I've actually been
through this section of the park but it's been almost I think 10 years since I've been through
here and it is so cool so we're gonna walk up to this this one now but like the whole
the Earth is just like bubbling and active it smells like Nick's farts and it's just so wild
we found a nice little pull-off and I need some coffee so I just have some
instant coffee this might be like the longest I've been awake without coffee
in a long time so we're gonna do that maybe have some breakfast and then keep driving
we are in the west thumb geyser Basin just walking on these boardwalks and there's so
many cool geysers and springs and stuff to look at and colors and steam and it's just really
cool we've had kind of a whirlwind day through here we didn't really see a lot of wildlife as
we drove more North so we're kind of back down here gonna look here and then head back towards
Cody pretty soon but there's just so much to see in this park so every time we come I feel like I
just kind of look at a little bit in the morning and then head out before the crowds so we kind
of had some nice hours where there really weren't a lot of people but now it's definitely starting
to get more crowded so I think we're gonna finish up here and then head back towards Cody
