Our night in Yellowstone was simply lucky. I called only a month earlier trying to find a reservation in the park. Typically, people make reservations a year in advance. I was hoping for a cancellation - and, as luck would have it - a room for all of us. AND, it was under $50. I thought I was stealing the room. On the contrary! It was like a bad dream in a Brady Bunch film. This room had no A/C, was unbelievably small, and had zero updates since it was built probably 30 years earlier. No problem - we only needed a roof over our head - and it was in Yellowstone National Park!
After checking in, we went to dinner. The dinner hall in Canyon Village was no better. The oranges, yellows, and greens were from "that 70s show". Like most national park facilities, the help was international students and the service was lacking. We ate dinner and moved on, just happy to be where we were. After dinner, we got an ice cream at a nearby shop, had some squabling over nothing while the kids tried to spend money on trinquets, checked out the falls at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and made our way back to our cabin.
At the cabin, we spied a few deer and a squirrel VERY close to our front door. All but domesticated because they are so used to seeing so many people.
