Salt Lake City to Island Park Idaho

On the road again heading north from Salt Lake via I-15 to Idaho Falls, ID where we stopped for a bit of grocery shopping and lunch in the camper. Fri. before a long holiday weekend brings out the worst in some drivers and we encountered many of them while trying to get out of the parking lot of a Wal Mart! Nearly 10 minutes went by with Hank getting more and more livid that there was not a courteous driver in the lot! Eventually we got on our road-US rte 20 which would take us NE to just outside Island Park, ID where we had reservations for three nights. Arrived there, checked in, set up, and immediately got frustrated because once more I had no Internet capability-even though I had paid $1.00 per day for each day we'd camped there! The folks in the office said we could bring our computer into the laundry and work there-RIGHT! Instead, we drove into the town of West Yellowstone, MT which is just a few hundred feet from Yellowstone National Park. W. Yellowstone is quite the tourist town-lots of fun places to explore. We walked past restaurants which seemed to specialize in Pizza and it smelled so good we just had to go in and have some! It was excellent pizza-and I didn't have to cook or clean up! Since we were going to have a long day on Sat. we crashed early.
As I'm playing catch up on 7/5 for what happened on 7/1 this becomes a bit of a challenge when I don't make notes. Apparently I didn't take photos that day, 'cause I can't find any!
