We left Yellowstone from one of the northern campgrounds around 11am. We missed the checkout at 10 while we were walking the pups. Honestly I was not tracking such an early checkout time from a campground.
We drove the Grand loop again except this time we stayed east to get the western shores of Yellowstone lake. We stopped at the Fishing Bridge campground to drop the waste water as we progressed around to the lake. We saw tons of bison, a herd of elk, and some deer along the way. We stopped at the headwaters campground between the parks so I could take a call and Kathy found an old telephone and some cute ground squirrels.
We continued on, crossed into Grand Tetons National Park, and stopped at the marina visitors center up north to get stamps, learn some things, and buy a sticker. Just north of Jenny Lake Kathy had some coordinates of the site some relatives of here were spread so we took the pups and hiked out so she could lay some flowers for them. Definitely a nice eternal view.
We stopped at Jenny lake for a while, reminiscing about her relatives while taking in the breathtaking scenery. It was getting late and since we could not get a campground we headed towards Jackson. Traffic into and out of that city was crawling and bumper to bumper until we reached the western edge. I had been looking on iOverlander for a free camp site, yet we found a nice spot, not free, but ready for us called Trail Camp.
