Mile 9864 – Still in Moran, Wyoming<\/strong>\u00a0(“local” miles only).\u00a0 Imagine if you wanted to visit Connecticut but under one condition: You cannot stay in the state, you must stay outside the state and commute in-and-out every day.\u00a0 That’s what it is like if you don’t have reservations in Yellowstone.\u00a0 That’s why it is a little too challenging to see everything we wanted in three days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When we departed\u00a0this morning, there was dense smoke again in Grand Teton, near where we are staying.\u00a0 But in Yellowstone, it was pleasantly sunny.\u00a0 In the late afternoon, the rain started and the smoke almost disappeared.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless we had a good day.\u00a0 The rain held off till 5 PM and the park has so much varied scenery and wildlife to offer, not just geysers.\u00a0 Just wish we could stay longer and in a better location.<\/p>\n

My advice to potential Yellowstone travelers:\u00a0 Plan a year in advance. With an RV or a tent, you are more likely to stay in the park, but in the summer even that may not work out.<\/p>\n
