All I knew about Yellowstone before I arrived here was that it was the first national park established in our country and that it was the home of Old Faithful and Yogi Bear.

I'm sure I'd seen travel specials on it, but don't remember being moved enough to make it a destination goal. When I discovered that my most direct path back to Austin would take us through Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, I was pleased but not particularly thrilled about it. I thought that level of excitement had been spent in Alaska and Canada, but boy was I wrong!

Once we arrived through the north gate, we were both exclaiming, "I didn't think it would be THIS beautiful!" I was told that the only RV park that could accommodate my size home and car was the one that cost the most - in fact the most expensive night I've paid for a space to park in the 2 years that I've been RVing - $33.00 per night. And it's not even that nice a park, but it does have full hookups and from what I've seen of the park just driving 60 miles into it so far, I am sure it will be worth it just to see this wonder of a place.
