Just finished in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Yellowstone is basically 65 miles square, with a massive square figure-8 central road loop and we drrove yesterday from the north, across the top, down the right, and back through the middle and then south. Stoped quite a few times, for oncoming solitary bison on one way road, also for Paintpots, where there's boiling mud pools. Had a lovely hotel back in the Grand Tetons, overlooking the lake with the mountains behind.
Annie had a little drive of the car too - only in a layby, but liked her first go in an automatic, even if it was a massive Toyota 4runner.
At Jackson airport now, waiting for flight to SLC, where we get the RV. Then drive to Zion Canyon, then Bryce.
Got to SLC, all good, barring (another) mental cabbie. Perhaps this one had god on his side, so didn't need to worry about being 6 inches away from the guy in front.
RV wasn't quite ready, so had to wait a bit, but got it, and decided to hit Walmart for provisions - must keep it in the family! Got a bit lost finding it, but made it in the end, but by the time we were done, it was starting to be rush hour, which was fun as the first RV experience. However, despite Nicola having kittens a few times, we made it out to Fillmore, about 2 hours away. Nice park, friendly people, and we spent the evening chatting with some Canadians from London, Ontario, who were coming to the middle of a 6 week road trip, and had done 16000 km! They only had a caravan, too, with fold out sleeping shelves. I think the wife had had enough, and was flying back in a day or two though. Husband and 2 teenage sons were pressing on...
