September 27
This
morning we woke up to dark skies and falling rain. We skipped breakfast and were on the road
around nine, but as soon as we crossed the border we lost an hour so we ended
up getting a late start. There was very
little traffic and except for the rain, it was an easy drive to West
Yellowstone. We arrived in West
Yellowstone which is the western gateway to Yellowstone National Park around
four and found the town bustling with people.
I was a little surprised this late in the season, but I guess
Yellowstone is always popular. The
weather report is a little disappointing as cold weather and rain and snow are
predicted for every day we are there, but we’ll just have to make the best of
it. We knew we were taking our chances
this late in the season so we’ll see what happens. The plan for tomorrow is to drive through the
park to the Eastern entrance and the town of Silver Gate where we will stay for
one night before coming back into the park and staying at the Old Faithful Inn
for three nights.
