 Day 4 we drove into Casper, WY.

 day 6) ... drove north along the Yellowstone River

On day 7 we packed up the trailer and headed with it to Old
Faithful.  We didn’t have a great distance to cover for our next
campground so I figured we could spend the morning seeing more
sights; also, that the geyser would have ample parking.  We
arrived with about 15 minutes to the next eruption, so that timing
worked well. 

After that we drove on toward Grand Prismatic Spring and I pulled
into the small parking loop.  Boy, that was a mistake!  Traffic
was backed up waiting for spaces, and it took 10-15 minutes to get
into the actual parking area.  They had 2 or 3 spaces designated
for RVs, but of course they were full.  So I dropped off Kathy and
asked her to get some pictures while I drove up and down the park
road that passes the site.

Once I picked her up, we drove on to Grand Teton NP.  Jackson Lake
was just stunning, but our campground was in Dubois—another hour
or more east of the park.  On top of that, we needed groceries. 
Thinking Dubois didn’t have much, we drove on to Jackson, then to
Dubois.  That ended up being several hours, time I had not planned
on, so it was rather late by the time we got to Dubois.
