Camping right outside of Yellowstone

Our campsite with the campers we shared it with. ( The next morning )

The sky that night......pitch black !

The campground became very full that night. We had the biggest site in the campground. I really wanted this site but it was secluded from everyone else. That's what I liked about it. For that very reason Gene didn't want it ! LOL Might have been the reason it wasn't taken when we got there too ! Gene thought we should be near people in case animals tried to come in our campsite. I felt like we should take this one and prayed a quick prayer. Gene then took this one for us ! I was happy :) Later on Gene and I were even more happy we had this site. The campground became full and we watched people drive in and out again. It was late and getting darker and darker. We ended up flagging two different couples down throughout the evening to tell them we would share our campsite with them. They were so relieved and grateful. The first couple with their camper said they had been driving hours and over 100 miles all around just trying to find a campsite. All the campgrounds in Yellowstone were full along with all the rest in or near the town. The second couple was a young couple that came in after we were already getting settled in our "bed" for the night. Gene put on his shoes and ran out to the road to get them as they were driving out. They also were very happy. They didn't even get a chance to eat supper yet ! They had to pitch their tent plus make supper. Gene restarted a fire for them as they put up their tent. We both fell asleep that night feeling very happy that we could help others out. With the situation we have been in for the past year we often feel as if we do not get to help others as much as we would like. This gave us a chance to share with what we did have :)
