West Yellowstone

Thursday
Time to leave Jackson and our campground home for the past 5 nights and hit the road.  It got down to 31° last night and I just couldn't keep warm. It was my fault, I just didn't put on enough clothes.  Get this.  Rick was fine.  Mr. I Am Always Cold was fine!  I'll probably never live this one down.  He did a great job at warming me up this morning, though, with a propane heater and extra covers of clothes. Once the sun came up over the mountains, it warmed up quickly. We emptied our bear box, took down the camper, loaded up & headed out.  We went north through Grand Teton National Park and into the south entrance of Yellowstone. Rick surprised me and had made reservations for us at a place called Hibernation Station in West Yellowstone, MT!  It was about a 130-mile drive so after a late start,  slow going through the park (a max speed of 45 mph), and stopping to see wildlife, we got to our little log cabin about 5pm. Yes, log cabin.  It is the cutest thing and I am beyond excited!  West Yellowstone is a neat little town with everything we could possibly need.  It'll be home until Monday morning and it sure is happy trails for me!
