August 2, 1926 (Monday)We came on to Yellowstone Lake. We saw Shoshone Lake in the distance and passed Isa Lake, which was full of pond lilies and located on the Continental Divide. They cannot tell which way the waters run but each way apparently. We crossed the Continental Divide three times before reaching Yellowstone Camp. Yellowstone Lake is immense and we meant to lay over till noon but could get no boat so came on to this camp.
[The photo above is identified as Shirley, Bernice, and Lynn at Old Faithful "taken by Vance who got too close to steam of the crater." I don't know if I believe that's Old Faithful. Did they let folks get that close to the crater? They surely don't now. Postcard photo of Yellowstone Lake below.]

Kathy, I remember looking at that box of tinted Yellowstone postcards in the old house back in the '70s. So interesting now to hear the story behind them.
