Yellowstone National Park - Buffalo Crossing RV Park, West Yellowstone 8/18 - 8/20

Tim and Linda Bunyan

We have driven south from visiting our friends Bill and Jane in Couer d' Alene, Idaho.  

Jim Drinkard has also come in his motorhome to join us in Yellowstone National Park.  
We have arrived at the RV Park at Buffalo Crossing in West Yellowstone.  
Phil and Tracey Chovanec have met up with us too as they came in from a visit with their new inlaws east of the park.  Jim Drinkard has Teddy too!  Linda is visiting her new grandbaby and will plan to join up with us.
We are together, in Yellow National Park, to celebrate our value of novelty and unconstrained personal freedom.
We admire principles and laws and order.  We embrace reasons and causes.  We seek predictability; some of the time.

On other occasions, we value spontaneity, unpredictability, novelty, and
 unconstrained personal freedom.

Jim entertains us (and Teddy) at his rig and serves up Pizza for dinner!

We all climb into Phil and Tracey's new Ford Truck and the Gypsy Guide (recommend by Sherry and Mike G.) map sets us out on course.  
We've chosen to go easy on our first day and drive directly to Old Faithful. 
 We join the faithful in the full display!
The National Park Service shows a lot of style toward bringing this beautiful America to its citizens that descend upon it.
We climb to the rooftop of the Old Faithful Inn for 'balcony seating' to view Old Faithful.

The crowd gathers at the base of Old Faithful.  Taxi limo has brought visitors from neighboring lodges.
We join the masses!




The girls strolling the grounds of the lodge and market.
 The beauty of the outdoors radiates throughout my being!
No stone has gone unturned in this canyon side.
Lots of 'walks about' on scenery that is bubbling and steaming!
First military buildings have been kept in excellent service with a museum inside.
The north entrance to Yellowstone.
Prismatic Spring from the trail above.
We take respite inside the Old Faithful Snow Lodge.  Great place to take a seat.
We hiked about on National Park-designed wood walk paths.  Making it so simple to view all the natural wonders of this landscape like no other.


It is very safe here with the wooden walking paths........but don't misstep or fall off.   The last person that fell off..........just a chip from his cell phone was found!

 Here is Tracey awaiting us to take our seats; we are on the hunt for the 
Huckleberry Martinis and the Old Faithful show. 
 We find the Huckleberry Martini bar at the Old Faithful Inn and 
view Old Faithful from the rooftop!



We've returned for the evening to full hookup Buffalo Crossing RV Park to dine with Phil and Tracey Chovanec at their place.  They have the perfect corner lot and served up a delightful meal.

Jim's place of full comfort!


New few days we are now into Yellowstone National Park at Madison Campground.  Phil and Tracey are visiting their friends tomorrow and will meet up with us here 
in a couple of days.
We are in a pull-thru and trees; Woodstock loves his new digs.  Phil and Tracey are going to join us in a couple days.

Woodstock values spontaneity, unpredictability, novelty, unconstrained personal freedom.
