August 18th, 1913--Monday.
Broke camp at the usual time and drove to Upper Basin and Old Faithful Inn.  At this time Park under supervision of U. S. Army.  We visited and stopped to look at several geysers on our way.  Oliver and Bertha witnessed Riverside Geyser in action.  The Biscuit Basin very pretty.  We went into camp about quarter mile from Old Faithful Inn.  Camped overnight and all day Tuesday.  During Monday afternoon we took in the sights around Old Faithful Inn and witnessed Old Faithful Geyser in action a number of times during the evening with search lights played on the geyser.  Monday, on our journey around Fire Hole Basin, we stopped at the swimming pool for George, Sandy, Jim and Jack to take a swim.  Took several pictures while they were bathing.  Monday evening we made fudge.  Jack and I went to look for our horses.  Ethel, Lulu and George came to help us.  In come across foot log over Fire Hole River, Lulu tripped and fell.  A stage driver (Cody) helped Ethel and I over.  I promised him some fudge if he'd come over to the camp in the evening.  Campers from Idaho and Mississippi came over to our camp fire, also the stage driver for the fudge I had promised him.  I treated all of them and we sang songs and had a grand time.
