KOA Campground, West Yellowstone, Montana, Tachometer – 4836 miles

Today was a wasted day. We planned on driving south to Jackson but the RV company said otherwise. A tow truck cam in to take our RV to the nearest garage, which was closest to the west side of Yellowstone. The tower had room for all of us so we transferred the kids’ safety chairs to the “red truck” and the kids got excited about this change. We drove slowly for about an hour and a half, with the driver serving as a tour guide of the park for us. He is a young 20 year old guy who came to work in Yellowstone for the summer. The girls fell asleep and Ron was busy drawing, so the drive went by fast. (more…)

After 3 nights without a hookup, we are staying at a hotel here in the park. We wanted to stay in the campground here at Grant Village but it only opens next week. For $125 a night, it is a bit bare, but the kids had fun jumping on the beds when we got in. (more…)

We woke up after 9 today. The Bison left the meadow during the night. From the RV window, Ron and Shir spotted a “ground squirrel and his wife” fooling around near their hole. We got through the morning duties, always a bit slower without a hookup (no microwave to warm the milk, visit to the dump station for dumping and fresh water), and set off to see more Yellowstone.

Today was a long day. A great day. Ron had a bad dream and woke us up at 4:30am. I was planning to wake up at 5, so no big deal. I spent an hour with Ron trying to get him to fall asleep but his eyes were wide open. Finally I explained to him that daddy has to go on a hike. He took it like a champ. (more…)

Shabbat Shalom.

Today we woke up ay 9am again. Actually Ron woke up at 6 claiming sleepily that there is a horse in his bed and that he is scared. It was Shir. Luckily he returned to sleep and so did we.

Our morning hike was a 2.1 mile trail to Storm Point where we hoped to see some moose. There was one bison at the beginning of the trail. But no moose. (more…)

We started the day late, the kids all woke up close to 9am. Our first stop was the visitor center to get some information on hikes here in the park. There is so much to do.

We drove to Mud Volcano, another stinky boardwalk overlooking various geothermal attractions. (more…)

Today we finally made it to Yellowstone. The getting organized took us a while. We had to fill up gas, propane and groceries. Then another 2 hour drive through beautiful countryside and we made it to the east entrance of the park. From there it was another hour just to get to our campground because of construction work on the roads.

This park is the first national park in the world. (more…)
