August 16, 1913--Saturday: Everybody up at 5 AM. I burned two holes in my apron trying to help cook breakfast. Hot biscuits, corn meal mush, potatoes and mutton chops, also coffee. Ethel had a bad tumble from her horse. Won't ride again for a few days. We reached West Yellowstone about noon where we stopped to buy some supplies and some ice cream which sure tasted good to all of us. We bought and mailed some cards. We then traveled about four miles further into the park where we came to a Government Fort where we were all compelled to register, leave our guns and obtain a fishing license. Driving about one half mile beyond the Fort, we made camp along the banks of the Madison River. Some went fishing and some bathing, but the water was very swift. Ethel and Mabel put out a wash. Jack and I took a walk in the evening. Two soldiers from the Fort came to visit us during the evening. We took several pictures.
Bathing? Swimming?
