It is one of my favorite national parks, and I'm due to take another visit there soon. Times have certainly changed since then, and I'm glad they allow the bears to remain wild and do not feed them and have more protection around the geysers and hot pools for tourists safety. The national parks broke records for attendance last year for its 100 years celebration. We visited Glacier NP last summer and this year hope to see a few parks in Utah.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-51693624202385967402017-03-15T21:17:04.898-07:002017-03-15T21:17:04.898-07:00Looking at these vintage looking and lovely cards ...Looking at these vintage looking and lovely cards and trying to remember when's the last time I've received one.

The colors in the postcard of the oblong geyser are also noteworthy; I think that would make a great painting. The story of handkerchief pool is a neat one! If true, that is probably one of the most fascinating "washing machines" of all time. Of course, I also enjoyed seeing the railroad stations. The Lone Star geyser and Buffalo Head look like they could be on postage stamps! Very neat to see the boat with sails as well; it looks like it is from another era.<br />Thank you for sharing these cards with us, John!Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-29431968253964343522017-03-15T11:42:22.825-07:002017-03-15T11:42:22.825-07:00Great post!

I am curious in one of them the tourists seem to be too close for safety to the bears ... The Madonna of the Wilds and the Ten Minutes for Lunch captions caught my attention too!

I also really appreciate that when I come here to your page for the postcards, I get sailboats, sky, and birds neat photographs as a bonus ;-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742777265021634232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551752452162286188.post-16753197047102156382017-03-12T16:25:36.377-07:002017-03-12T16:25:36.377-07:00I found the idea of the handkerchief pool interest...I found the idea of the handkerchief pool interesting.
