The last time we were in Yellowstone in the fall was 2002. I had just accepted a job at Montana State University in Billings. Phillip had moved what little furniture we had in the apartment and gone back to Arkadelphia to finish up some work at Daily Lumber Company. Although I had been in Billings since mid August, Phillip arrived on September 12, 2002 and our adventure began. We absolutely loved the area in the fall and have wanted to go back in the fall since then. However, when you teach you can't take vacations during a semester. We have waited for 18 years to go to Yellowstone in the fall and we are so excited!
We left Farmington, AR at 8 am today. It was 80 degrees, but we knew the temperature would drop throughout the day because the high in Sioux City, Iowa was 46. By the time we got to Kansas City at noon, the temperature had already dropped to 56 degrees! The temperature went down steadily thereafter. It also started raining in the afternoon and continued through the night. We arrived in South Sioux City around 5:30 pm at the Scenic Park RV Campground. The campground was easy to get to, well maintained, and right on the bank of the Missouri River (Nebraska side).
