20 June 2019 West Yellowstone to Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park

It’s a short drive (108 miles) from West Yellowstone to the Lewis and Clark State Park. We took a slightly longer route around Hebgen and Quake Lakes (formed by the 1959 Hebgen quake) to avoid a steep climb through Targhee Pass, although we did have one big climb just north of Ennis. But the temperatures were in the low 50s and the truck did just fine. We are staying in the Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park campground ($30.5 per night which includes a non-resident fee). The site we were able to reserve has no hookups. We were able to top the tanks off from the potable water source in the park, so we did not have to drag it too far. This is our first camping with no hookups (boondocking light according to David since there are bathrooms nearby if needed), which will provide a good test of the solar system and batteries. The site was barely big enough for the Wanderer and anything but level. The front end had to be jacked up high enough that the front tires came off the ground to get level. We did not even know the struts were that long! Sure make it easy to get into the basement! No bending over required!
