Finding my way to Yellowstone Park

Leaving the Devils Tower National monument park, I was anxious to get to my next planned destination.  Who knew that this part of my journey would be the most lonely part I have encountered so far.  Not only am I traveling by myself but there was hardly any traffic for miles in front of behind me for hours at a time.  Now I am not complaining about no traffic but a car every now or then can at least show you that you're not crazy in traveling this path. 

I realized that after driving for several hours on end, I was going to need to stop and rest.  There were very few options on this leg.  I found a very little town that I think it's main purpose was to keep the main line of the railroad going as there was a huge train junction about 3 blocks away from where I held up for the night.  Yep, you got it, train whistles all night long.  Luckily, I was so tired, I never hardly heard them.
After a good nights rest and planning and a nice hot shower too, I was on my way to my next layover before I entered the park.  I wanted to enter the park in the mid morning because I had been told that the sunlight made the show even better. 

I found a campground in the Shoshone National Forest that was underneath some amazing mountains and a river at their base.  It is still mesmerizing to me that anyone is allowed to camp this close to such scenic views.  All the planning I have done the past several years, I have read how you can camp off grid and be amazed.  Wifi and cell service is few and far between and you realize how much you depend on it, not for email and social media, but when you want to search for something you've seen and want to know more.  Oh well, I hope you have been enjoying the ride and just wait til you see what's in store tomorrow...
