I hope all the details fall into place and any concerns are soon dissolved.Yep! And now I'm a bit worried about the Yellowstone part of the trip....it's flooded and all entrances into the park are closed. The article I read said that the town of Gardiner, Montana, where we are staying for one night, could take months to repair that road....we are supposed to be there in a month.I guess we'll see if I get any sort of notification that the hotel I booked is closed, etc. We are hitting all the historical sites and natural sites in Wyoming and popping over to South Dakota to the Badlands, Keystone, Rushmore, Jewel Cave, Custer state park, etc.
I grew up in Northeastern Wyoming, and we went to South Dakota several times a year to visit the sites. I took the kids in 2016 and we saw Wind Cave, Mount Rushmore, and Custer State park, and we ate dinner in Deadwood and had lunch in Keystone, but we didn't really get to see much, and we skipped the badlands and Jewel Cave. So we'll do those this time. But we're going to Yellowstone, Fort Caspar, Independence Rock, Fort Laramie, a few museums, and visiting people in my hometown for a few days, then going to Laramie to visit my brother so my daughter can do her English-speaking work experience for school. She's going to work in my brother's restaurant. And I have some cousins coming out from Tennessee, Illinois, and Iowa and will visit their brother/uncle/ my cousin who lives in Pinedale. BIG trip. The kids are really excited about Yellowstone, so I hope the roads are open again then and they get everything back in order. Otherwise I have a big problem. At least all the hotels I booked have free cancellation!
Best wishes!
