Day Three
Somewhat refreshed from a night of opportunity for sleep, the alarm sounded at seven. We hooked up Polly, disconnected her hose and electric and began the final leg of the trip excited to view this Yellowstone National Park everyone speaks of. The morning was peaceful and quiet as the sun rose across the prairies of Idaho. Road construction laughed at our attempt to make good time in our trek to Jellystone to see Booboo. After what seemed like forever the signs announcing Yellowstone we getting closer with each mile. Reaching the entrance gate was a site worthy of a celebration and a photo.
Our campgrounds, Fishing Bridge RV Park was on the other side of the East gate where we entered. Whenever we found a pullout that had room for Beast and Polly, we stopped to observe the breathtaking scenery.
Checking into Fishing Bridge and driving into loop A, we wondered why the campsites were so neat and clutter-free. Working quickly, we moved all of the food items out of Beast to put into Polly because of the rules regarding grizzly bears. Polly looked like she was suffering from hoarders disorder.
When the sun began to go down, the reason the campsites seemed uninhabited was apparent. Due to the fact that Yellowstone has some of the largest native cutthroat trout we learned that their favorite food was also large and in charge. The mosquitoes were bloodthirsty savages with the taste of blood their only goal. Relaxing outside was impossible and relaxing inside the hoarder’s trailer was also impossible. We toured the immediate area until it was dusk. The animals began to come out and move around and it was no longer safe to be out driving around. The bison are on the move in the evening and use the roads to travel on. Their eyes absorb the light from automobile headlights and they are basically invisible until you are right on top of them. Two thousand pounds of bison will total your vehicle.
