Provo to Yellowstone

We left Vegas early Monday morning and arrived in Provo Utah Monday afternoon. We went from 90 degree days in Vegas to 40 and heavy snow showers as we approached Provo, wow what a change in weather. We were up early the next morning, had the RV packed up, the cars packed and ready to go...but when we went to lock the RV door and push in the steps, the steps broke off--completely! Ugh! And we just had the roof repaired the previous week. When it rains it poors I guess--(not that you should feel 'sorry' for us under the circumstances!)

Well, it didn't take long before we realized that we pretty much had to stay in Provo and get the stair repaired, as it's a 4-5 foot drop off from the front door to the ground. So we set back up, unpacked everything and Mark started checking around RV supply stores and finds the correct stairs and by later afternoon, he had the new stairs in and we were ready to leave this morning.

We were packed up and heading out of Provo by 7:00 this morning. We made great time and arrived in Yellowstone National Park by 2:00 this afternoon. After getting settled in at Grizzly RV Park we headed to downtown West Yellowstone, which is a quaint little town that we're really looking forward to exploring over the next 2 weeks. But first things first--we were starving having missed lunch. We found a nice little restaurant in town and had a terrific meal.

After filling our bellies, we decided to locate an information center to get information on Yellowstone. We're only a few blocks from the entry to Yellowstone and before we knew it, we were inside the park on our way for a quick visit of Old Faithful--totally unplanned. We didn't even have a camera. But wow, we sure weren't disappointed. The drive to Old Faithful did not disappoint for sure. We saw so many bison and on a couple of occasions, there were actually herds of bison on the roads bringing all traffic to a stand still as they strolled down the middle of the road. This time of year there are lot's of baby calves as well and they were sooooo cute. The bison were only a couple of feet from our car on several occasions. Just amazing!

Ok, enough about today. We're so glad to finally be in Yellowstone, I've wanted to see this park for many years. We've decided to slow down the pace a bit and as I mentioned earlier, we'll be here for 2 whole weeks. We hope to see all areas of the park...but it is huge so more about that later. Well that's a wrap for now, I'll try to update more regularly while we're here. In the meantime, we had a wonderful day and hope you did as well. Until later~
