We had planned on staying at the tower for another night, but we were so refreshed after our KOA stay, that we decided to move on. Destination: Yellowstone? We had eaten breakfast in the RV, the boys rode their bikes around the campground, Michael dumped tanks, and we all showered. We ate lunch in the General Store and Trenton got the “juiciest” corn dog he had ever eaten. Onward we forge. We arrived Gillette, WY sometime around 2:00pm and decided to run a few errands. I hit up Wal-Mart for pop, treats, milk, paper towels, and DVDs. Michael washed the RV, checked the air in the tires, and traded “Redbox” movies. Now we’re ready to go again. We were really in the heart of Wyoming now. Beautiful mountains and bluffs at every turn, and not a stitch of civilization around. We stopped for dinner in Sheridan at a Perkins. Everone ate up!

Michael called and got us a reservation for a camp spot at Yellowstone that night, so it was do or die. We arrived at our campsite in Yellowstone at about 1:00am. The boys were already sacked out for the night, so Michael and I just crawled into our bed and called it quits for the night too.
