\u00a0I added a few days to it and decided to spend all days in Yellowstone National Park. \u00a0It is long overdue and planned many times before. \u00a0It is always out of the way from where usually vacation and used to live. \u00a0But now that I live in Illinois, it is a short flight from Chicago O&#8217;Hare.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>First thing to say about the park. \u00a0It is absolutely stunning. \u00a0I am a big fan of volcanic activity as you may he deduced from prior blogs. \u00a0Well, Yellowstone is the world&#8217;s largest Super Volcano. \u00a0I love mud pools and geysers and

Springs:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
