Leaving YNP on the Way to Ennis MT

We left YNP the evening of June 12th & found a camping area in West Yellowstone, WY just outside the gate of the park. Steve wanted to stay in the park that night but since I had been without cell phone & internet for nearly 5 days, I "suggested" we leave that night. Of course our campsite was not nearly as beautiful & enjoyable as the national park, but it did have "amenities!" We parked in the town of West Yellowstone prior to securing the campground & had dinner at a typical WY bar/restaurant called Bullwinkels. The restaurant side was a mad house so I asked the reception if we could get a meal in the bar area. Of course! When we entered the bar all the tables & bar seats were taken, so I asked a husband/wife duo seated at a table if we could join them. They both acted a little miffed but I suggested that it is a bar & that is how you do it in a bar. Well, OK, they nodded. By the end of the meal we were all best friends. Exchanging business & social cards & vowing to look one another up when we get in each others areas. I love it! Maybe it is a good thing I brought Steve along!
