Backpacking through Yellowstone: day one

   
                                      Lonestar geyser.  It went off for about 10 to 15 minutes.

  
A pine drop that we saw on the way to our camp.


A picture of most of us near Lonestar geyser.


Group A's first campsite.  Their was a little stream 
next to our camp that we used for water.


Getting our food out so we could eat dinner.


Our dinner which is chicken curry.  It was actually pretty good, but watery
and not quite cooked enough.

Coffin Lake Part 2

Picking huckleberries on the way up.
Taking a water break before heading on to the lower Coffin Lake
Cooking dinner.  (All we did was boil water, add it with the food and shake it up)

These are some of the wildflowers we saw on the hike up to the Upper Coffin lake.

We pitched our tents above our cooking area.
Some uncommon orange wildflowers


Looking down on the Lower Coffin Lake.  If you look closely it almost looks like a coffin.
