T@B Camp: Go West! Part 3

On our way to Yellowstone!

Yellowstone was our ultimate goal when we first started our trip. While we were enjoying the sights along the way, it was exciting to realize that we were about to arrive at our destination, and we'd get to stay for four whole days!

We saw some cool spots and pretty scenery along the way.

I don't know why, but I'm fascinated by tunnels in mountainsides. I think they're cool. :)

We drove through Yellowstone to get to our campsite in Idaho. It was a nice way to view the park before deciding which parts we wanted to really explore more the next day.

These are the trees that had been burned out by the previous year's wildfires. There was quite a bit of damage over large sections of the park, and it made me a little sad.

This moose was wandering down the road as we drove by. Sure brought traffic to a halt!

We decided to keep driving through, to Henry's Lake Campground in Idaho. We thought it might be a good idea to get to our sites, get set up, spend the evening relaxing and planning our days in the park.

Henry's Lake did not disappoint! The only drawback was absolutely no trees for shade, and unfortunately we had an extremely windy week, but wait til you see the views!

Here was our sweet little B@R T@B and its proximity to the lake. The campground was quite empty, likely due to the extremely windy weather, but we enjoyed the space and peacefulness of a less than full campground. Our spot was next to the campground host, Charles, who was fantastic. He kept us informed of closures, wildfires, and gave us good info for activities and photo ops. He spent quite a bit of time with us as there wasn't much going on, and we enjoyed his company.

Isn't it lovely? I walked down to the lake several times during our stay because I couldn't get enough of that view! Kathy and I strolled down with some happy hour beverages and explored the campground a bit. We were pleasantly surprised by clean, modern bathroom and shower, very close to our sites, and at host Charles's suggestion, we took leftover firewood from a few sites that had left them behind. This gave us enough to last the week, so we appreciated his offer!

We did have one day that the wind died down enough that we could set up a complete campsite. Take a look:

Here's our setup! The awning is one we ordered from teardropshop.com, and is made to fit the T@B specifically. The yellow doesn't quite match the B@R T@B, which is a little bit of a bummer, but the additional shade will come in useful!

Notice Fred and Lucy, our flamingos, greeting visitors to our campsite. :)

Jeff and Kathy had quite the display too!

The little flower catches the wind and twirls! How sweet! We had these up for about 2 hours before the wind picked up again and we took it all down. At least we got them out for a little bit!

Kathy and I managed to even dress alike, so we made sure to grab a couple pics in front of each camper.
