I know what you mean about not being able to get enough of it. Will be there in September for my 7th trip. DW and I are doing the motel thing this trip, including 3 nights at the Old Faithful Lodge. Going to do the Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone, Grand Teton's, Pikes Peak, and some Kansas, and Missouri B B Que! Can't wait.

Greybouvier,
Glad you had a good trip to Yellowstone. We left on July 3rd for an 18 day trip to Estes Park,CO, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the Black Hills. Our 18 day trip lasted 2 days. About 40 miles from Loveland,CO a pickup truck coming the other way veered into my lane. I swerved to avoid him and although he didn't hit our truck he did hit our 2000 25 ft Salem 5th wheel. Although no one was hurt that pretty much ended our vaction. We spent a few days in Colorado waiting to get an estimate on the 5th wheel to see if it was totaled (it was)then headed home. On the bright side we have purchased a 2008 Puma and will try it again next year (only I think we will skip Colorado) If this works there should be pictures of both the old and the new 5th wheels.

We too went to Yellowstone 6/9/08 got home 6/28/08. I too can't get enough of Yellowstone. We stayed just down the road from you at Lionshead, great CG. Went on to Bryce Canyon ( a must see)and No rim of the Grand Canyon. Also did Badlands, Mt Rushmore, Custer Park, Devils Tower. Went out on 90 but came back on 70 thru Co. and up thru Sidney NB. Stayed 1 night at Cabela,s Campground. Really a nice CG. Averaged 13.6 with our 03 GMC Durmax pulling 05 2955 Montana. Yea the fuel was a big ouch!! $1901.34

Its so lucky that the accident did not throw you into the ditch or cause a rollover. I assume insurance covered most everything. I have replacement value insurance which I guess I will continue after looking at your pictures.
Wouldn't you know, now gas prices are falling!!
