Out of Yellowstone

I wrote a posting on Tuesday evening and wanted to add photos when we returned home. Unfortunately after loading photos the blog had disappeared.
Leaving Yellowstone was hard because we left so many things undone. We did manage to get one more night at our campsite. But our truck was shaking bad so we needed to get it looked at by a tire shop in West Yellowstone. 

Bakers Hole, a National Forest campground, was recommended by the shop owner, Jake. We ended up with a great view and while eating dinner outside we were treated to an osprey diving for a fish in the river 70 yards away from us. The sunset was a nice way to close the day.

 After visiting with a couple of neighbors my eyes were opened to a lifestyle I was unaware of.

Both couples were on fixed incomes but one of them had retired at 50 and had been traveling for 14 years. The fee to stay in the campground was $16 or $8 if you are 62. You can stay up to 16 days so if you need to watch your expenses it is a good choice.Both the couples had sold their homes so they had no worries other than maintaining their rigs and fuel to travel. Many folks are volunteering in these campgrounds for free access or working in the the parks or campground to help pay their expenses along the way.
