We started the day by heading to Craters of the Moon NM. Ton and I enjoy the starkness of this place immensely and wanted our friends from Thailand to see it.
Unfortunately Ron and Noi are both fighting colds so that reduced some of the fun of Craters. Plus I think everyone was pretty pumped up to see Yellowstone. So after half a day we headed on over to Yellowstone.
Because of the cold temperatures and some of the limitations of Elephant we need to stay in commercial campgrounds when it is cold. Elephant can only provide about two hours of heat before her battery is drained. Elephant is really making Ton and I appreciate the flexibility and nimbleness of Scout.
We chose the Rustic Wagon campground in Yellowstone. When we arrived you could tell it is near the end of the season as we were one of only three campers in the park, and all but one other campground was closed.
