Camping in Wyoming


I'm sure purists among you would not call what we do camping but I've been there done that took my morning bath with river water after hiking several miles to camp. Now we camp with a trailer with a kitchen, bathroom, TV and with any luck...internet access. So we couldn't access the internet, we still had fun and were away from camp tooling around Yellowstone or Teton National Park most of the time. We spent four days at the Star Valley Ranch RV park. The sites were shady and level but there was no grass. It is a huge RV park with a swimming pool, tennis courts and golf course; none of which we used. We had a nice time. Yellowstone and Teton were beautiful. We saw mostly Bison but at the end of the day when photography was impossible we saw herds and herds of Elk. Mike has a waterfall fetish so we went to the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone. The hike down to the lower falls was a bitch especially the hike out but we made it. We were shocked to discover that we were not sore from our hiking the next day. Now we've no excuses not to hike more because if we can do that without orthopedic consequences then we should be able to do more.
