Yellowstone Lake

Fri, 6/27/08

Yellowstone NP, WY: We left our campground in Wapiti around 11:00 and headed to the west entrance of the park. What incredible scenery. Wild flowers are everywhere. We’re at the Fishing Bridge campground and Mike did such a good job with the reservation because he asked for a site on the periphery and we’re on the end of a loop surrounded by pines. It’s a great site. It’s as beautiful as a national forest campground but with water, electric, and sewer. No TV reception, no cell phone signal and no Internet though. After we got set up we drove around for a while. We’re within walking distance of the Yellowstone River as it comes out of Yellowstone Lake. A beautiful spot. Drove around Yellowstone Lake a little bit and stopped at the Yellowstone Lake Lodge. On the way there were a couple of bison in the road blocking traffic. Back to campground and Italian sausage sandwiches and three bean salad for dinner.
