Our plan worked!!! We woke the girls up before the sun came up, snuggled them into little blanket cocoons in Azul and headed into Yellowstone to try our luck snagging a Mammoth Hot Springs Campground site. When we pulled into the campground there were already 3 or 4 rigs in front of us. Not too […]
