Saturday

Our original plan had been to stay at the refugee camp for two nights. We thought we had heard the family from hell say they needed to be packed up by 10:00, so we thought they were only staying Friday night. We figured that it couldn’t possibly be worse on Saturday (other than the bone-chilling cold) so we were planning to stay a second night. We were looking forward to not packing and unpacking the sleeping bags, tent etc. We were heading out of the refugee camp in the morning but hadn’t seen the other family packing up theirs tents and chairs. I became concerned because there was no way I was staying there again if they were there—I have my limits! On the way out of the refugee camp we stopped at the reservation office and checked to see if they were staying another night. They were. The nice reservation lady said she would either move us to another site or refund our second night’s fee. We opted to flee. We got a reservation in a cabin in the Canyon Lodge area of Yellowstone so we packed up the tent and headed out.
