Travel Highlights              
All in all, I must say, that other than Old Faithful which we waited an hour and a half to see (worth the wait) and the natural hot baths and steam vents, the park is not as compelling as I expected. It is also sad to see all the devastation from the 1988 fire. The scope is incredible. We have looked at burnt trees throughout the entire park. It is almost unbelievable that so much area could be destroyed. All in all, this and Plymouth Rock are my two top disappointments. Once we left Yellowstone, we got to ride in view of the “Grand Tetons”. Now these are some grand looking mountains. These and the mountains north of Yellowstone are by far the more magnificent aspects of the area. Lots of OPEN land and SPACE in southern Wyoming as we headed for the border. We arrived in Rock Springs and went to a movie, Tomb Raider. This KAO gets the award for turning a vacant couple of flat acres of property in the middle of nowhere into a profitable business. They literally bought a flat spot next to the Hwy and behind some huge gas-like storage tanks and covered it in gravel, put in RV septic, water and power plug ins, 4-6 cabins and a dozen gravel tent spots and called it a KAO. Oh well. It did the job for us.
