THURSDAY IN YELLOWSTONE. No phone or computer in Yellowstone.

Well we did it.  We got here. We left Elko NV at 7:30am and got to our destination 2 miles South of Yellowstone at 6:1pm, a long day on the road.
We had a good laugh because we were supposed to be here a day ago but Jim booked us in two places at the same time. 
We did have one really good truck stop.  I found A Wizard of Oz coffee mug and there is a wicked witch of the west with red shoes and stripe socks and the saying on the mug is: "Don't make me drop a house on you?"  I love it.  
The start of a new collection.  Poor Jim.
The name of our campground is Headquarters Lodge @ Flagg Ranch.  
We also had a really nice dinner at the lodge campground.  We split an Elk-Bison meat loaf dinner.  Who knew?
Weary pretty lodge.  It had rained during the day and rained most of the night.  Oh well.
Snow is predicted for Saturday with a low of 37 degrees.  YIPEE SKIPEE.
I like snow, it is supposed to be sunny 2 days after we leave.
We decided to drive here via a short and Lizzy, our guide with my iPhone agreed, that is the name we gave our google map guide.  Well maybe it wasn't such a good idea.  There was a 10% grade going up and going down over the mountain.  There are holes on the floor of the passenger side of the pickup where I helped Jim brake going down.  We should have taken the longer route.  We both don't really like driving the camper through the mountains.
