Day ten of our trip and Cody offered to us a beautifully clear day and warm temperatures. Today we finally got to try our hand at designing. Dodging traffic and the occasional curious tourist, teams quickly split and set forth to the task at hand. With little time teams worked quickly and efficiently filling sketchbooks with incomprehensible details. Shortly after lunch it was off to Yellowstone National Park. This part of the drive may have been boring if it wasn’t for Julie and her roadside geology fun facts. Come to think of it, it may have still been boring as the van was full of sleeping students no offense to Julie.
As we reached the gates of Yellowstone, everyone was eager to see what the park had to offer. Following the winding roads, unsettling for those who get car sick, we came across hot springs, spectacular waterfalls and deep canyons with walls of yellow stone. Some bison and elk even managed to stop and pose for a picture or two on the way through. It was a long day of driving but the majestic views Yellowstone offered were a great compensation for the hour spent riding in the vans.
Reaching our hotel in West Yellowstone students soon found themselves fighting for tables and consuming countless gallons of coffee as our Cody Wyoming project was do early the next morning. Students seemed to slowly drop one by one until four in the morning when the last student finally went to bed This may have been the longest day of Savanna this year, but hey at least the project was fun!
