Around West Yellowstone

This morning we had to move sites. I got up early and made a pot of chili and finished yesterday‘s blog. The Campground host came by about 8:00 and told us she had a site for us with electric but only for one night.  We turned that down and said we would just take one of the first- come/first- serve sites as they became available today, even though they are dry camping. We didn't want to have to move every day.  She said she hadn’t checked those yet but about an hour later, she came back by and said she had found a couple and asked Joe to go take a ride with her to decide which one he wanted.  They left and he came back with a new site for us, we got our stuff put away and moved over there.  This site is as nice as the last one. This Campground takes bears seriously, it has bear-proof food storage boxes at every site. 

 Then we decided to do laundry today and take a day off from sightseeing, so we gathered up the laundry and headed into town for breakfast and the laundromat. We were both pretty tired from our last three days of long drives, and sleepless nights.  We took the afternoon off but Joe decided he wanted pizza so about 4:00 we did go back into town. We were lucky we went early because they were lined up when we left.    I walked into one shop, but didn't buy anything.

Then we took a little drive on down the highway past the campground.  We didn’t see anything although the road took us down along Madison River. It was the Madison River Rim Road, the road was bumpy. It started to rain so we came back and called it a night. We’re having trouble getting Internet at our new site so we’ll see how that goes. We have four nights in this site.

It rained pretty good for a while, then quit.  But we had a beautiful rainbow.  And it rained again during the night.  They need the rain here, so that was good.

I'm having trouble with the internet, so I'm not sure how this blogging will go. And we had some issues switching from electric to generator, but we hope we have those all resolved.  Heading back into the park tomorrow.
