A rain storm went through and then the sun shone in time for us to unhook the plugs and hoses and hook up the Jeep. The sites in this part of the park are long and nice.
The Jeep has a parking place in front, but we could have parked in back easily. The picnic table sits on an asphalt pad. Again, we took our time leaving because we didn't have far to go.
We drove out of West Yellowstone on Hwy 20. There was only one rough spot and it was short. We ran along the Snake River for a while. There were MANY fisherman out.
We turned east on Hwy 33 and saw potato fields everywhere. We were in Idaho after all. This is an old soil covered potato bunker, where potatoes are stored. Potato storage requires very specific conditions and close monitoring. This is the old technology; before air-conditioning.
Here are the newer air-conditioned potato storage sheds. A lot of seed potatoes are grown here.
Almost missed getting a photo of the potato processing plant.
Pretty land.
The Tetons from Idaho Hwy 33. We will go into the park tomorrow.
The little town of Tetonia was unremarkable, except for the views of the Tetons, hanging baskets on every lamp post and lilac bushes everywhere.
By 1 pm, we were set up. To our surprise, there was a Mandalay like ours two sites away! Pretty soon, there was a knock on the door. The owner of the Mandalay had come to greet us. She and her husband are traveling with friends, who also own a Mandalay. The friends are parked a little further down the road. We had a fun happy hour with our fellow Mandalay owners. They will meet another Mandalay couple on the Oregon coast. We don't see very many Mandalays, so this has been a pleasant surprise. Ted belongs to a Mandalay forum, so he knew the name of these RVers. She already told us how to modify our screen door to make it more user friendly.
