Naturally, the weather lightened up just as the group was leaving to ski. We donned our multiple layers and ventured out to walk the big loop of trails beyond Old Faithful. We stayed out of the way of the snowmobilers and passed the closed-by-the government-shutdown Visitors Center. That was enough of the cold for me and headed back to prop my feet up and enjoy the lobby loft. Pam and James walked for a couple of hours, turning back when the wind was blowing the snow over the path and obliterating the edges so they could not be sure where to step. Yikes.
The rest of the afternoon lent itself wonderfully to drawing and chatting with folks in the lobby and lounge.

| The sign seems unnecessary :) |

| I thought snow shoes still looked like tennis racquets. Not so. |
 |
| There is a free ice skating rink in front of the Lodge. Free skates and helmets are provided. The staff kept it shoveled and it was lighted at night. We saw one family out there. It was our entertainment to watch them one evening with the twinkle lights on them. |
