Waived goodbye to the Flamingo Grill and headed out across the rest of Montana towards Yellowstone. Crazy weather continues. We could see the dark clouds and lightning ahead and hoped the road would take us to the clear sky between the darkness. That worked for awhile but as we were approaching I-90 west of Bozeman, the sky opened up with hail. It came down like crazy, covering the road like snow. I was driving and it was scary. Mike said to stop under the expressway when we got there. Well, our road went over the expressway! We finally passed through the storm and came out to sunny weather.
Continued driving to West Yellowstone, MT where we stopped for lunch. Then into the park and another hour of driving to our campsite at Fishing Creek. There were quite a few animal jams along the way, which slowed travel. We signed into the camp ground, set up the trailer and immediately went to the laundry. Mike worked on the trailer while I watched the clothes go round and round. He discovered an electrical problem with a fuse. Found a place to buy fuses, fixed the fuse but the battery was dead. We needed that for heat. So, as I was cooking on the grill, in the wind(what else), snow started to fall. The night time temp was expected to be 26 degrees. Hooked the camper electric to the car, ran the car for several hours and had minimal heat. Burrrrr! Looked like a Christmas card the next morning.
