Mud Volcano, Yellowstone National Park

I've not been able to post for some time due to technical difficulty with our internet connection.

Late in May the Mud Volcano boardwalks opened and James and I had a chance to visit.  Unfortunately, we are not able to post all of the videos of these amazing features. But we are glad to share some photos of our visit.

Thermal features in Yellowstone are truly amazing. Not just visually, but the sounds that come from the Earth are truly awe inspiring.

This is Dragon Mouth Spring --It is one of my favorite features in the Mud Volcano area.  It truly sounds like you might imagine a dragon would sound like deep in the cave...water comes out in waves and smoke comes out with a steaming hiss.
