  It looks like I'll be fortunate enough to be spending about 2 1/2 months
  in Yellowstone this summer.  I'll be working (reservations), but will have
  time to travel (not too far though).  I've been there many times, but
  haven't done other things, like Frontier Days in Cheyenne (I think).
  What's this like?  What else should I try to do?  I'm so excited, I've
  been packing things since the day I got home from there last August.  I
  hope that I'll be living in my own 25' trailer and will be in either
  Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone or Gardiner, MT.  I love to go on
  the Beartooth Pass and will drive that as often as possible and would
  also like to take the side road going off of the Pass, can't think of
  the name, but it is supposed to be the scenic view.  It's called
  St. Joseph's or Joseph's something or other.  It's named after some
  Indian chief.  Anyone been that way?  I thought maybe I could make
  that a two day trip.  Does anyone know a nice place to stay that isn't
  too expensive (I guess most motels are not expensive out there).

  If anyone is going to be in that area (Yellowstone) this summer, let
  me know and perhaps we could meet.  If you have never been there, I
  would love to show you around.  Of course you don't need anyone to
  show you Yellowstone, but I think I do know some of the better places
  and times to see wildlife.  I could sit and watch the "buffalo roam" for
  hours and in fact, I have.  I've seen black bear and grizzly, but not
  too close thank goodness.  Of course, I've seen most other wildlife in
  Yellowstone.  This past year, I saw more calfs (young) of all the
  animals than I've ever seen before.  I also say more cayote than ever
  before.  I love Montana and Wyoming, especially the Rocky Mountains.

  Thanks in advance for any new information regarding happenings out
  west in the summer (I'll be there from the end of May until the first
  week in August).

  I also have a friend in North Dakota that I may visit on my way out,
  if I can go that much out of the way with my trailer.

  Something else I might mention.  I hope to be able to take my
  25' trailer to Yellowstone, but I don't have a vehicle heavy
  enough to tow a 25' Airstream (it's 20 years old).  If you have
  a vehicle that could do this and would like a trip to Yellowstone,
  I'll pay for gas and food out and give you $100 for gas home.
  You could stay for awhile in my trailer if you like and we would
  stay in the trailer on the way out.  My brother from California
  might come here and pull it for me and my husband will probably
  go out with us.  I'm just trying to find other possibilities for
  getting my trailer there and I also might need someone to pull it
  home for me the first or second week in August.  I figure if I have
  to I will store it out there for the winter and the next year I will
  have my own van to bring it home.
I'll give you references and would
  ask the same of you.

  Thank you one and all for anything you can add!
