Livingston, Montana

8/27/2010

We currently are at Fox Lake Campground, in Minnesota, just 10 miles north of Bemidji, Minnesota, for a couple of days to relax. Here is the continuation of our blog.

As we left Yellowstone, we entered into Montana, which was 3 miles before we reached the official northern entrance of Yellowstone Park. This is the Theodore Roosevelt Entrance of Yellowstone that we exited. We now entered into the town of Gardiner, Montana. This is the town we drove to if we needed to use our cell phones while at Mammoth Hot Springs Campground, which was 5 miles away. As we go through Gardiner we see the Livingston sign directing us to our next stop. Gardiner has a population of 851 according to the 2000 census. We leave Gardiner, MontanaThe Yellowstone River goes through the middle of Gardiner and we follow it going out of town, and as it winds to Livingston, MT. We drove the long and strenuous drive of 44 miles. Joe was so exhausted by the time we got there. We needed to find a place to dump our grey and black tanks, and to take showers. There is some sacrificing, full timers have to do when on a budget and the economy is struggling and retiree's can't make money on their savings. After lunch we checked out Livingston, then returned to the nest and watched as much TV as we wanted and used as much water as we wanted. A rain storm came through as we watched TV and then this rainbow came out. The other half of the rainbow.
