Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone National Park

Campgrounds
We made it through the hot weather in Washington (without pulling that television out), stayed at a couple of really nice RV parks in Montana before entering Yellowstone.  We met a very nice couple from Florida who were on their fifth week of full-timing.  We spent a great evening talking full-time and Alaska.  They are planning on doing the Alaska trip next summer so we had a lot to talk about.  Hope we can catch-up with Ellen and Mario in Arizona this winter.

Yellowstone – Grand Teton National Parks

Campgrounds
 We spent four days in Yellowstone and three days in the Grand Teton.

The campground was at mile 5 in the park so we decided to take our bicycles and see how much of the loop we could cover.We neglected to think about what we were doing.This loop was going up to a summit that overlooked the park.
