<p>Je ne sais pas trop ce qui s'est passé cette année mais je ne pensais pas dépasser le délai d'une année pour relater ce voyage…! Ca m'était arrivé pour <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Yellowstone">Yellowstone</a>, mais pas au bout du 3e billet, et puis mes méthodes de retouche photo étaient bien plus fastidieuses à l'époque. D'ailleurs, je me suis attaquée récemment à mes anciens billets de voyage pour les rendre plus jolis, si le cœur vous en dit. (En réalité, c'est mon blog tout entier qui subit actuellement un ravalement interne).</p>
<p lang="en">I'm not sure what happened this year because I certainly didn't expected to take a full year to write my reports about Reunion Island…! I experienced this for <a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/tag/Yellowstone">Yellowstone</a>, but certainly not before the 3rd post and I seem to recall my photo-retouching methods were far more tedious back then. By the way, I recently rearranged my old travel posts to make them prettier, just in case. (Actually the whole blog is concerned by a cosmetic rearrangement).</p> <h2>Le Volcan</h2>
<p>Si la brume épaisse de mon passage précédent avait fait mon bonheur d'esthète, il est vrai que les reliefs du volcan n'en méritaient pas moins un deuxième point de vue, en espérant que la chappe de coton qui y a ses quartiers à l'année fusse disposée à me laisser faire. Si j'obtins de la complaisance auprès de l'azur, le volcan m'opposa sa propre résistance, avec une éruption en cours en condamnant l'entrée. Ce qui est moins excitant que cela n'en a l'air…</p>
<p lang="en">If the heavy mist from my last visit had from an esthete's point of view been most satisfactory, as a point of view on its own it has undeniably failed miserably, so I hoped to try my luck once more. I didn't met resistance on the weather's part, but the volcano itself was another matter. Let's say I could observe from afar, but the volcano trails were closed as an eruption was ongoing, which is muss less exciting than it sounds as it didn't result in any phenomenon, lava, nothing of the sort really…</p>

<p>La suite de la journée nous a mené ensuite à la <strong>Maison du Volcan</strong>, un petit musée plutôt sympa, entre ses collections minéralogiques, son simulateur d'éruption, ce moment un peu… déconcertant avec la projection d'un film en 4D scénarisé pour plaire aux enfants auquel nous avons assisté parmi un public adulte voire carrément 3e âge… Par contre ce musée m'a un peu épuisée ce qui fait que j'ai à peine prêté attention dans la voiture au chemin qui nous a amené à la forêt de Notre-Dame de la Paix. À l'origine garés pour que je puisse me débarrasser de ma fatigue en faisant une courte sieste, j'ai fini par sortir aussi de la voiture puis m'engouffrer dans le chemin qui débutait là :</p>
<p lang="en">The remainer of the day saw us visit the <strong>Volcano Museum</strong>, not the largest but a pleasant one, with a collection of minerals, a funny eruption simulator, an awkward moment with a 4D movie probably more aimed at kids than the adult to elederly people audience that watched it with us… However the museum tired me a bit so I have no memory whatsoever of the road to Notre-Dame de la Paix forest, where we pulled over so I could nap a bit but ended up going out of the car and engaging on a trail:</p>

<h2>Conservatoire National Botanique de Mascarin</h2>
<p>Nous avions trouvé porte close à ce jardin quelques jours plus tôt, mais le 16 octobre, on s'était mieux préparés et nous étions présents dès l'ouverture. J'ai acheté au passage dans la boutique plein de thés aux couleurs locales (genre orchidée, géranium, galabert…) et un livre sur les poissons pour aider un peu ma mémoire quant à mes « plongées » en lagon, qui furent d'ailleurs autant de jours sans photos parce que je préférais mon appareil le plus loin possible de toute étendue sableuse… Pour revenir au jardin, celui-ci était plus carré, plus… étiquetté que le <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/printemps-indien-part-ii-retour-caz-depart">Jardin des Parfums et des Épices</a>, mais c'est un lieu d'études en même temps.</p>
<p lang="en">We had previously driven to this garden only to find it closed, so on the 16th we made sure the date was right and we could enter at the opening. I liked it there and got myself a nice supply of locally-coloured teas from the shop (think orchid, geranium, lantana…), as well as a book on fishes to help keep a mental record on the fishes I saw on beach days, such as I couldn't relate on this diary as the camera was safe home on these occasions. These gardens were more structured than the <a class="ref-post" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/printemps-indien-part-ii-retour-caz-depart">Garden of Perfumes and Spices</a> (the name is a dead giveaway), which is to be expected from a research center, I guess.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-iv-everyone">Bon, j'ai déjà fait cette blague.</a> Que dire sinon que je viens de me refaire tous les Skins tout récemment + la saison 7 que je ne connaissais pas (Cassie fan through and through, et j'ai envie de smoky eyes alla Effie). Quand je pense que finir mon report en novembre pour un voyage en juillet/août m'avait paru dix fois trop long… Pour notre dernier jour entier à Mammoth, le 5 août, nous avons essayé de rattraper au mieux les endroits spectaculaires que nous n'avions pas encore vu. Ce qui a donné lieu à une journée un peu chargée.</p>
<p lang="en"><a href="https://www.messalyn.fr/post/c-era-una-volta-il-east-part-iv-everyone">I have made this joke before</a>. It came to mind spontaneously because I recently rewatched of Skins, from the first to the seventh new-for-me season (Cassie fan through and through, that and Eff smoky eyes). Now that I think of it, with Japan it seemed so tedious to have this live-report going on from august to november… haha little did I know. Anyway, about the 5th. It was our last full day in the park, a big day packed with odds and ends of leftover sight-seeings.</p> <h2>Artist Paint Pots</h2>

<h2>Moralité</h2>
<p>Hirsute, échevelé, Yellowstone vous recrache comme elle le fait quotidiennement de ses tripes. Vous retrouvez d'abord un feu rouge, puis des rues bien carrées, puis des commerces superflus. Vous vous farcissez les 440 miles qui vous séparent de Salt Lake, saluant au passage ce brave uncle Monsanto qui seul habite des étendues autrement désertes. À plus de 40 mph, vous manquez de remarquer le zoo imitation Yellowstone où vous pourriez enfin admirer ce con d'ours qui vous a bien roulé avec ses clochettes hors de prix mais qui n'a jamais daigné essayer de vous taper votre burrito du convenience store pour le spectacle. Une dernière fois, vous admirerez la ronde des jeunes, jeunes mariées à la cathédrale de Salt Lake où vous éviterez de faire tomber un mouchoir contenant votre adn malgré l'émotion. Et n'oubliez pas :</p>
<p lang="en">Discheveled, hairy, Yellowstone throws you up, but what did you expect, somehow that's what it is known for. The first sign is a red light, then neat and square residential areas, then some useless shops. 440 miles stand between you and Salt Lake City, inhabited by Uncle Monsanto — don't forget to say hi while you're passing by. At more than 40 mph, you're driving so fast you almost miss that fake Yellowstone zoo where you could see that goddamn bear who never bothered to show, not even to steal your convenience store burrito. Yet you shelled tons of money on these alert systems, didn't you? For the last time you'll get to admire the young, young brides at Salt Lake cathedral (it can be emotional but just avoid dropping a tissue with your adn if you're concerned with your ancestors post-mortem religious beliefs). And never forget, at any rate:</p>

<p>Et alors là, brace yourself pour le lunaire Mammoth Hot Springs, un endroit terrestre absolument fabuleux. Déjà le nom a tout bon. Je n'ai eu de cesse de retrouver le « moth » de « Mammoth » dans l'immaculée blancheur de ses terrasses. Je réfute toute responsabilité concernant l'éventuelle abstraction de mes clichés. Ni du fait que bon nombres d'entre eux ne furent jamais pris car les bains dans l'eau naturellement chauffée d'une jonction entre deux rivières accaparèrent la photographe de longue.</p>
<p lang="en">Now if we may proceed, brace yourself for the wonderful venue of Mammoth Hot Springs, one of the fabulous spots Earth has to offer — or should I say Moon? Notice how the name sounds right. The immaculate white of its terraces made me think of the “moth” in “Mammoth”. I won't endorse any responsability for any abstraction occuring in my pictures. Neither will I repent for the numerous untaken ones due to photographer spending all her time in, say, the exact place where two local rivers join their courses, one being from Hell and the other from Heaven.</p> <p>La veille en arrivant en fin d'aprèm, nous étions pressés de découvrir ce nouvel endroit sur la map. Nous avons donc fait un premier petit tour des lieux car pour la première fois le point d'intérêt de la zone était à deux pas de notre hôtel. Mais le lendemain, nous l'avons refait de façon plus complète. Le circuit est très aménagé, un vrai boardwalk pour ne pas trop se fatiguer.</p>
<p lang="en">Upon our arriving at this new staying place the day before in the afternoon, we were eager to discover this new spot on the map. We couldn't wait to get started because for the first time we only had to walk a bit from the hotel to be directly amongst the hot stuff. We went to see a few sightings, but we went back the next day for the full experience. The trail is so easy to walk on it since it's a boardwalk.</p>

<p>J'ai réalisé que j'avais fini par rattraper les dates de mon voyage à Yellowstone alors voilà en ce 3 août, mes déambulations du 3 août ! Afin que mon billet soit prêt à temps je vais certainement le publier très inachevé, mais je le complèterais et le corrigerais <del>au fur et à mesure</del> un autre jour, plus réveillée. Notre box nous a lâchés alors que je dois télécharger un package de 80 méga (toi aussi clames avec 5 ans de retard les simspoints qui venaient avec ton jeu de base), donc m'occuper de ce billet me fera passer le temps…</p>
<p lang="en">Finally, the current date caught up with those of my trip to Yellowstone. I hereby post august the 3rd on another august the 3rd. My post wasn't ready yet but I had to publish it in this fashion not to be late. I will complete and correct it <del>soon</del> another time when I'm less tired. Our internet box is currently on the loose while I'm about to download a 80mo file (let's redeem our free basegame simpoints 5 years after the purchase), so maybe I could use the extra time to adjust this note.</p> <h2>Lamar Valley</h2>
<p>Ce jour-là nous nous sommes levés extra-tôt afin de ne rien manquer de la vie sauvage aux aurores dans la Lamar Valley. je caressais le fol espoir d'y voir des loups, réputés préférer cette partie du parc. Malheureusement toute cette avance durement acquise fut mise à mal aux abords de la vallée, ou nous avons été retenus bêtement tandis que le soleil se levait par des travaux et une circulation alternée qui ne nous était pas favorable (l'attente n'était pas simplement de quelques minutes). Bon, Sœur aurait peut-être vu un coyote. Quant à mon objectif 18-55 mm, c'est laborieusement qu'il captura quelques <em>antilocapra americana</em>.</p>
<p lang="en">That day we arranged for an early rise. We had great plans involving rarer wildlife of the Lamar Valley such as the much-craved for sighting of wolves. All for nothing since as we approached the valley, we had to stop the car for a little while (more like half an hour or so it seemed). The cause was work on the road and alternate traffic circulation. Meanwhile, the sun was arising rapidly in the sky and was already there by the time we got to our destination. Well. So…… Sister, she might have spotted a coyote. Also, my poor 18-55 lense was having the trouble of its life capturing some antelopes (also called pronghorns) afar.</p>

<p>Je viens de perdre l'usage de mon clavier, et c'est bien dommage. Mais se lever tôt, selon les endroits du globe où l'on se trouve, favorise l'observation de cervidés ou l'emprunt d'ordinateur d'autrui. On ne peut pas avoir les deux. Par contre, on peut faire une matinée d'intérêt géologique PLUS une après-midi d'une balade qui n'a rien à voir. C'est magique, c'est Yellowstone. Aujourd'hui, je poste donc le 2 août 2013 (le post est prêt sans les textes depuis une semaine...) Comme d'habitude, il y a une chiée de photos, vu que le post est surtout pour la famille qui c'est bien connu, a plus de patience pour ces choses-là.</p>
<p lang="en">Unfortunately, I just lost the use of my keyboard. Yet depending on your location on the globe, waking up early can lead up to cervidae observation or the capacity to borrow one's computer. Cannot have both, though. However what you CAN have are a morning of geological interest AND an afternoon of hiking in a completely different landscape. It's magical, it's Yellowstone. Today I give you august 2nd, 2013 (the post having been ready for a week minus the texts...) As always there are way too many photographs, I have to apologise since it is mostly targeted to family — they handle these things with the most patience.</p> <h2>Norris Geyser Basin</h2>

<p>Aujourd'hui, je suis revenue bredouille de l'office du tourisme d'Aix où j'étais partie chercher un guide des balades locales à faire en voiture. C'est bizarre qu'ils l'aient enlevé car il était vraiment très pratique ! Tant pis, nous continuerons à tourner au pif dans la région pendant nos dimanches chômés. En tout cas, heureusement à Yellowstone ils étaient équipés en petits livrets du genre. Et la balade qui allait à Clear Lake était vraiment une des plus belles. Le 1er août était le jour de la transition de Grant Village à Canyon Village. De la région des lacs à une région… avec moins de lacs ? Non sans rire bien que le parc soit à cheval entre le Wyoming et l'Utah, yee-haa, rien à voir avec le rougeoyant Bryce Canyon découvert lors de sa visite inattendue (que de sous-entendus dans un seul mot) en 2007. Je dirais que les reliefs de Canyon Lodge se caractérisent par des mélanges de couleur, ou sinon par les superbes vallées qui l'entourent, comme vous le verrez sur les photos qui suivent (la Hayden Valley, en l'occurence). Ah oui, et par les bouchons de bisons. Eeh oui. Le bitûme, c'est plus confortable pour marcher.</p>
<p lang="en">Today I came back empty-handed from the Visitor Center in Aix en Provence, as they didn't have anymore the guide I was looking for, which describes several tours you can take in the area if you have a car. Luckily for me, back in Yellowstone the livestock of leaflets was pretty good. The Clear Lake hike we did that day sure had gorgeous sceneries. August 1st was the day we left Grant Village and the lake area for Canyon Village and the less-lakey area. While Yellowstone is indeed between a few states such as Wyoming and Utah, the Canyon area was nowhere like another famous UT point of view, the very red Bryce Canyon I visited in 2007. I'd say Canyon Village surroundings are more caracterized by a great palette of colors on canyons, or by large valleys such as the Hayden Valley you will see in the following photographs. Oh yeah, and by buffalo jams, because, mind, apparently it's easier to walk on the asphalt road.</p> <figure style="{figureStyle}"><a class="media-link" href="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/yellowstone2013/clearlake0108/20130801_019.JPG" title="River in the Hayden Valley"><img alt="River in the Hayden Valley" class="media" src="https://www.messalyn.fr/public/photos/voyages/yellowstone2013/clearlake0108/.20130801_019_l.jpg" title="River in the Hayden Valley, Clear Lake and Ribbon Lake #019, 1st august 2013" /></a></figure>

Les <em>balades</em>. Ce point de dissension familiale. Dix ans plus tard, prescription : cela m'a paru de nouveau concevable d'aller crapahuter quelque part. À un rythme <em>choisi</em>. Toujours tant que certains dépliants ne tombent pas entre toutes les mains (c'est curieux comme toutes les balades ne dépassent pas une heure, <em>n'est-ce-pas ?</em>). Et Yellowstone est un chouette parc qui permet de varier les plaisirs d'un jour à l'autre : activité volcanique / balades / observation de la faune.</p>
<p lang="en">Yellowstone 2013, that one occasion to let go of your resentment towards hiking. Hiking. That… topic of family disagreement. 10 years later, we're past that. I admitted it to be OK to go frolicking in the wild again. Provided I get to choose the speed. And keep the leaflets to myself, “there weren't any hikes longer than an hour anyway — you DO believe me, <em>right?”</em> Yellowstone is the right park if you seek for the right balance between volcanic activity, hikes and widlife observation so as to never do the same thing from one day to another.</p>

<p>Un égarement géologique dans le planning du jour. En parlant d'égarement, voilà ce qui arrive quand d'aucun décolle à toute berzingue pendant que vous êtes encore en train de prendre des photos. Vous passez complètement à côté de la boucle qu'est censée former la balade et vous revenez négligemment sur vos pas. Et elles sont là à faire leur show, au garde à vous, les marmottes (et non pas les marmots, dont les petits pieds souffrants risqueraient de garder 10 ans la rancune d'avoir été trimballé dans des balades les dépassant)</p>
<p lang="en">A bit of geology in my hiking planning, must be an error. Speaking of error, that sort of thing is bound to happen when one takes off at the speed of light without bothering to check on you, while you are still at work with your camera. So a loop hike mistakenly becomes a back-on-our-tracks hike. But here they are, the marmots, the stars of the show indeed.</p>

Comme tous les matins, nous avons retrouvé notre bande de cervidés au même endroit tout proche de notre hôtel à Grant Village, partie du parc où nous sommes restés le plus longtemps. J'ai beaucoup aimé cet hôtel et cette partie du parc, ses lacs, ses forêts <del>et ses chipmunks complètement débiles</del>. Cette fois-ci on s'est aventurés un peu plus près.</p>
<p lang="en">In every trip there is one day when you snap way more pictures than usual. Seems like I took nearly 400 photos on the 30th of July. Morning after morning, we got our share of elks at the same spot, near our lodges in Grant Village.

<p>Après cette glorieuse lumière matinale, le temps a pris une tournure apocalyptique avec un orage menaçant, sans doute pour honorer notre seconde visite dans les paysages dinosauresques d'Old Faithful. Le temps est très changeant à Yellowstone, et par rapport au climat français, beaucoup plus précis. Certains épisodes ne font que traverser très localement ce parc. Le bronzage de certaines l'en remercie.</p>
<p lang="en">Yet after that glorious morning light, things went nastier with that frightful storm passing by, in honor of the dinosauresque surroundings. Weather changes all the time in Yellowstone, I thought it was more precise than the french one. Stuff makes its way throught the park very locally. Luckily for some people's tan.</p>

</figure> <p>Reprise des billets Yellowstone, interrompus par un festival bayday qui aura duré un peu plus longtemps que prévu… non mais qui tombe en panne le vendredi soir d'avant Pâques ? Merci le petit Jésus… Enfin, j'y aurais eu mes œufs en sucre, attrapé un lézard, vu une anguille, exterminé la population marine comestible, et été dans une pizzeria. Et, quand j'ai enfin pu rentrer (mercredi…), je suis arrivée <em>pile à l'heure</em> pour Poirot. Je crois que j'ai vu s'exaucer tous mes désirs, formulés à haute voix ou pensés par hasard. Et ça me fait une transition toute trouvée pour cette série de photo, puisque le problème de bagnole a commencé par de forts relents d'acide, et une batterie se prenant pour une terre volcanique avec ses fumeroles :</p>
<p lang="en">Back to my Yellowstone blogging, which got interrupted by a comic convention that lasted longer than planned… who the hell gets a car breakdown on friday evening before Easter? Thanks for nothing, Jesus. Well at least, I got my sugar eggs, catched a lizard, saw an eel, exterminated all edible marine life, and went to a pizzeria. And on wednesday when the car was repaired, I made it home <em>just in time</em> for Poirot. So all in all, I think pretty much all of my desires came true, expressed aloud or just in my head. Anyway, I couldn't have imagined a better transition for the upcoming photo serie, since the car problem started with a strong acid smell, and a battery acting as a volcanic landscape with its two little fumaroles.</p>

<h2>Artist Point / Lower Falls</h2>
<p>Je dois avouer que j'ai bien ri toute seule devant cette multitude de couleurs déversées sur les parois, que j'ai mitraillée en me disant que ça ferait de la doc pour G*******, coloriste de bayday qui ne conçoit pas le mélange de couleurs sur les éléments et est passé maître dans l'art de composer des tenues monochromes, sentai-style (pourquoi ??) J'ai moins ri devant les coustiques, tho.</p>
<p lang="en">I must confess that I had a good laugh in front of all these colors spilled randomly all over the cliffs, which I figured I could shoot to death as documentation for G*******, who does colors on comics. I suppose it would bother him greatly because the man cannot conceive using more than one color per element in his extraordinary monochromatic habits, to the point where even characters end up with some sort of color schemes, sentai-style (why??). Billions of mosquitoes again, sadly.</p>

</figure> <p>Après notre balade à Shoshone Lake en ce jour résolument gris, nous avons décidé d'aller faire un tour voir l'incontournable Vieux Fidèle et ses environs. Et comme les vieux, <strong>ça chique et ça crache</strong>. Je ne vais pas m'étendre sur ces photos, attendu que nous y sommes retournés 3 jours après par une météo plus intéressante.</p>
<p lang="en">After our hike to Shoshone Lake, we headed to Old Faithful. The day would remain grey and dull, unfortunately. Old F is just as old folks: <strong>chewing and spitting</strong>. I didn't wanted to include too much photographs as we went back there 3 days later, by a much interesting weather.</p>

<h2>Grand Teton</h2>
<p>Vous savez comment outrer le personnel d'un parc ? Vous allez à l'accueil et vous leur demandez s'il est souvent comme ça, le temps. Fort heureusement : non. Un peu capricieux, changeant même, mais pas mal de bleu. Nos velléités outrancières n'étant pas en reste, nous avons décidé de mettre tout de même à profit le grand soleil du lendemain en revenant dans le parc de Grand Teton traversé l'avant-veille. Au passage qu'est-ce que c'est agréable, d'être tranquille tout au bout d'un lac.</p>
<p lang="en">Want to know what outré manners to have with a park's staff? Go to the reception and ask if the weather is always like this. Fortunately: no. A bit unpredictable, changing; lots of blue. And because we're so ill-behaved we though we could use a little sunbathing the next day in Grand Teton, the other park we crossed upon arriving. Such a pleasant experience, provided the place is as lone as you would expect from the far end of a lake shore - hopefully it was.</p>

<figcaption>Or donc Sœur, ton souhait est exaucé.</figcaption>
</figure> <p>En l'an de grâce 2013, ma famille et moi avons décidé que la vie branchouille de San Francisco, Tokyo ou encore Miami n'était plus pour nous. En fait, on en a eu marre de déclencher des catastrophes partout où nous allions (ouragans, tsunami et j'en passe). Alors, nous avons décidé de prendre le taureau par les cornes et d'aller nous balader au sommet d'un <strong>super-volcan</strong>. De plus, nous savions que même si nous rencontrerions une fin malheureuse, les gentils autochtones du coin, charitables, ne laisseraient pas nos âmes brûler dans le magma du péché, mais auraient la bonté de protéger celles-ci au moyen d'une conversion posthume pour nous et nos ancêtres sur 15 générations. C'est donc en toute confiance que nous avons décollé le 25 juillet pour Salt Lake City.</p>
<p lang="en">In the holy year of 2013, both me and my family got fed up by the too-hype nightlife of San Francisco, Tokyo or Miami. That trail of disasters that we always leave behind us (hurricanes, tsunami and what not) was anyway too disheartening. We decided to try Fate once for all by going hiking at the top of a <strong>super-volcano</strong>. The thing is, we knew that in the event of a tragic death the nice locals would never let our souls burn in the magma of sins. In their own sense of mercy, they would kindly protect them through posthumous conversion — for us, and for our ancestors throughout 15 generations. Thus it is with great trust that we boarded on the 25th of july to Salt Lake City.</p>

<p>Mais las ! Leurs belles cravates et chemises roses ou bleues et leur belle ville moderne n'ont su nous faire oublier que nous nous trouvions enfin pour de bon au Far West, dans les grandes plaines. (Pour la première fois du moins depuis le « petit » détour par l'Utah entre San Francisco et LA en 2007). Alors, perdu pour perdu, nous sommes partis nous égarer en pleine nature, là où les réseaux n'existent pas (c'est un demi-mensonge : <em>mon</em> appareil du démon ne captait pas, et <em>j'ai</em> décidé que je n'allais pas chercher à faire autrement, malgré une certaine tradition). Au bout d'un nombre certain de miles sur une route américaine plutôt sympathique (pas l'itinéraire le plus court mais charmant), nous avons pénétré dans un autre monde où le temps passe à une autre vitesse. Je veux dire, pas plus de 40 miles par heure.</p>
<p lang="en">Alas! Neither their precious neckties and blue and pink shirts, nor their modern city could make us forget that we were now in the Far West, in the Great Plains to be more accurate. (Well, for the first time since 2007 and the “barely noticeable” Utah deviation between San Francisco and LA). Given that we were already lost to the civilization, we just had to go a little further to be truly in the middle of nowhere, where networks dont exist. (Ok not quite true: lack of reception was just for <em>my</em> phone, and it was also <em>my</em> decision not to try harder, in spite of a certain tradition). Several miles later of the prettiest landscapes (not the shortest itinerary, but worth it), we stepped into another world when time doesn't fly as fast. Meaning that its speed can't exceed 40mph.</p>

<p>Yellowstone est une terre de phénomènes naturels. Néanmoins, un phénomène non-naturel allait bientôt me prendre par surprise : dans ce parc, <strong>j'étais debout le matin</strong>. Il faut dire aussi que des enseignements furent tirés de notre dernier voyage de groupe. Nous avons mis un frère dans un avion, un frère dans un autre avion, et y'allah. Ca fait pas de mal de retrouver un peu de contrôle sur ce genre de voyages. Mais se lever tôt à Yellowstone vaut vraiment le coup, car on a alors toutes les chances de son côté de croiser sur le bord des routes des bestioles en train de casse-croûter leurs frosties. Et 40mph, c'est vraiment bien pour eux, même si parfois il y a des attroupements d'humains indiscrets qui se forment, c'est toujours mieux que la circulation dans le reste du pays. Hum par contre, I hate to break it to you guys mais Yellowstone c'est le seul endroit du monde où les Harley Davidson c'est <strong>pas cool</strong>.</p>
<p lang="en">Yellowstone is a land of natural phenomena. Yet an unnatural phenomenon was about to catch me by surprise: in this park, <strong>I was up in the morning</strong>. Let's say that lessons were drawn from past group travels. One brother in a plane, one brother in another plane and here we go. I appreciated getting back some control over our oversea errands for once. However early risings are not a waste in a place such as Yellowstone, for you get to see a lot of wildlife for breakfast (theirs, not yours). There 40mph really makes sense, it is much better for the animals despite the undiscretion of humans gathering near them. Still better than regular road traffic, I suppose. By the way, there's that one thing which I hate to break to you guys -- Harley Davidsons in Yellowstone: <strong>not cool</strong>.</p>
