We left for West Yellowstone about 8:30 and arrived at Grissly RV Park around 11. It’s a beautiful place and as soon as we set up, we found an RV store and Carman fixed the door latch and we went to the local market for some buffalo meat. It didn’t look good and was too expensive.
The information center lady gave us a map and advice to navigate the park. We headed for Old Faithful and saw buffalo and elk along the way. The cars stop for any little sighting of wildlife. Old Faithful was very crowded and not due to go off until almost 5, so we decided to head back and cook dinner on the grill again. I’m liking this!
On Tuesday, we did the full lower loop: very spectacular water falls and lots of buffalo. We had lunch at the lodge (circa 1920) and then back to Old Faithful to await the show. I was disappointed. The wind was blowing so it didn’t go very high. It finally warmed up and we’re doing pork ribs on the grill. It’s going down to 31 tonight. I find it hard to believe it’s July.

On Wednesday morning, we couldn’t leave for the upper loop until we moved the rig to a new spot. The guy in that spot had a mechanical problem and we were delayed until after 11 am. Mammoth Hot Springs was a real treat and scenery along the way steep and spectacular. There was a sleeping grizzly on the side of a mountain. Again traffic was backed up and we couldn’t find a place to stop: no picture.

We left for Missoula early Thursday morning, because it’s a 277 mile trip. I picked a campground that unfortunately was full; not the worry Jellystone across the street had room. We visited one of the local Walmarts. It’s in the 90’s here which is great after freezing in Yellowstone.
