Yellowstone closed
In case anyone has plans for the next month or two, might want to change your plans. Heavy rains have caused flooding that has washed out several roads and left some visitors stranded in the park.
Thats a somewhat washed out road, there are a couple more where the road no longer exists.

We were going to bounce around the outskirts of Yellowstone this summer like we did few years ago, those plans have changed.
Prayers for the folks that live there or are stranded there, what a mess!

We were in Yellowstone two weeks ago... On the very roads in the images now. We went in the north entrance, did a half figure eight and went out the east entrance. The damage they are showing is quite devastating and will take a while to get back to public safety standards.
If anyone was going on their first trip there, don't scrub it off the list of destinations for good. This was our second time in Yellowstone and it is breathtaking.

We were fortunate to spend several weeks near 4 of the entrances, including Gardiner in 2019. I feel for the people that have planned there vacations there in the near future.

Thinking back now, I don't remember seeing anyone in a mask, but I really wasn't looking and don't care if someone wants to wear a mask. We don't wear masks, but that is our choice.

Looks like indoor enforcement only, at least according to their web site. At this point it should be by choice, not by force.
Watch out for the monkeypox, seems like the latest thing coming around.
Some year I would like to take a trip there, but we are glampers, not campers. Got to have AC or I can't sleep.

We will be there in late August and travel from West Yellowstone eastward onto Cody, WY on our journey to Camp Hatteras on the Outer Banks of NC and then Martinsville, VA for a NASCAR Cup Race.

Based on your projected path of travel, if you are looking to stay outside the east entrance, below are a few spots we scouted out and think a 5th wheel would be OK in.
The blue pins mark the campgrounds.
Have fun and enjoy the journey!
