Yellowstone

We crossed into Idaho and camped in Fruitland at the Exit 3 RV Park behind a Chevron/A&W Root beer. Not bad for $20, we had electric and water hookups. (I might have preferred there were bathrooms, but the walk to the gas station wasn't too far)

We spent one night in West Yellowstone and had some delicious pizza at the Wild West Pizzeria and Saloon. 

We got up bright and early and made it into Yellowstone National Park by 7:00 and stood in line for about an hour and a half at Norris Campground and luckily were able to secure a campsite. Not everyone in line was so lucky. The line started forming at 5:00.  Hopefully that will be the last of the summer that Leslie wears gloves. We paid for five nights but we will likely stay longer.

We have been checking out the geysers and mud pots and steam vents and every stinky sulpher smelling blow hole in the park.

There are beautiful falls and the Yellowstone River and Yellowstone Lake are incredible.

Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley are full of wildlife and so far we have seen hundreds of buffalo, antelope and some mountain goats. Lots of birds too like pelicans, cranes and Jays. We have hundreds of pictures that we can hopefully upload one day. 

We no longer have two cracks in the windshield. We only have one now. One really long crack...
