Day four - Thursday

We left Idaho via Pocatello and drove into Jackson Hole Wyoming today. We spend a little time in Jackson Hole, stopping at the Orvis shop where we contributed to the local economy. Walking around downtown Jackson Hole is like walking through Tourist Town USA. It's a nice town but bring $$$. As you can see from the picture above, we visited the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. We had no drinks, but this place has character.

From there we drove through Grand Teton NP and got our first look at the local wildlife. A Pronghorn was standing alongside the road. Interesting critter. As we entered Grand Teton we paid our $80.00 for a National Park Pass and off we went to Yellowstone. The two parks are actually connected. Once in Yellowstone we had a leizurly drive to our campground at Fishing Bridge. Only problem was we were a day early and had to go back to Bay Bridge campground and spend the first night in a no-hookup campsite that was too small for the motorhome. It worked out okay though and we had a pleasant evening relaxing with a game of scrabble after a 300+ mile day.

Driving in Yellowstone to the campground we followed the road half-way around Yellowstone Lake. It's a lot bigger than I remember it. We saw steam vents alongside the road as well as Bison.

Here's where we found that cell phone service is spotty in the park. More on that later.
