We decided to leave for Yellowstone a little early since we were both on vacation. Left Saturday morning at five am from Wisconsin. Took 94 most of the way, that was a long 13 hours! We decided to take 212 into the park from Billings MT. Not the best decision for two am. Had to stop on a pullout and take an hour nap cause a couldn't do any more winding roads after driving for twenty hours.
Got to the park early this morning. Didn't really know how the first come first serve sites worked so we drove around a bit to try and find out. Ended up figuring it out and have the tent pitched at mammoth camp site. All is good so far, the girls are really enjoying their first time camping and woman is to. Was a little worried about her. Only slept that one hour since Friday but its a beautiful day and so much to see so not tired. Going to go explore a little.
On the drive in we saw a couple hundred bison and some that decided we didn't need to go anywhere and stood in the road. I didn't mind because it was great being able to see them so close. Saw one rolling over and that was really neat. Also saw a big herd of elk and some deer.
Didn't have phone signal till we got to mammoth so thought I would give you a little update letting you know where all your help got me.
Thanks again for all your advice and I will post pics when I get home. If anyone has any questions about Yellowstone let me know in the next couple days and ill try to find the answer. I know I came not knowing much about how camping works out here but learning as I go.
