"Of course I met pleasant people, because nothing so liberalizes a man and expands the kindly instincts that nature put in him as travel and contact with many kinds of people." Mark Twain

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
We took a chance and went to Yellowstone end of Sept., beginning of October. The weather this time of year, in this area, can change one minute to the next. We lucked out.
The summer crowds where gone and we had a few beautiful days there. The campgrounds in the park were closed, except for one, and it was full. We drove from Cody all the way through the park to the west side of Wyoming to a little town just outside the park called West Yellowstone. We stayed in Grizzly RV Resort and yes, it's expensive, but it's worth it as it is only 4 blocks to the west entrance of the park.
Yellowstone is the first National Park established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1872. We really need to thank him. Our trip there was wonderful. We just saw a little of what is there and we will need to go back a few times at least.
We were able to see a lot of wildlife. Bison, elk, coyote, eagles. We didn't get to see a Moose, bear or a wolf. But will try next time.
We took over 200 pictures. Here is our best 49. As usual, click the link below, select "Slide Show" and then hit F-11 on your computer to enlarge the pictures. That makes it more enjoyable.
