Yellowstone National Park - Wyoming


After two nights in the Grand Tetons, we disconnected the rigs, parked them in the Visitors Center parking lot, and drove the tow car to Jackson, Wyoming, to stroll through the town. Jackson is the virtual Carmel of the Wild West. Shops are filled with stuffed wildlife, decorative items made of antlers, fir, and most everything you could think of with a Wild West/Moose/Mountain theme. There are beautiful chandeliers and lamps that would make beautiful additions to the Arnold cabin, but not enough room in the RV to haul them back!

After lunch at a local Mexican restaurant, El Abuelito, we shopped and headed back to the RV’s, hooked on the tow car and then to Yellowstone. Upon arrival, you would have thought it was the middle of January with the amount of snow on the side of the roads. We settled in to Fishing Bridge RV Park in the middle of the park and enjoyed the rain as we barbecued our dinner. Lucy met a new friend, a Westie also named ‘Lucy,’ who lives ‘next door.’

The first night, we were welcomed to Yellowstone by a spring snowstorm that dropped about 6 inches of fluffy white stuff.
