From the Younger family of Illinois we would like to extend a big thank you to the people of Yellowstone National Park for their congeniality while we spent 4 days in your campgrounds and while we visited the beautiful sites in the park. We were there the week of the 6th of July and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We stayed one night in Norris and the rest of our stay at Bridge Bay. We had a great campsite and met a great number of people all over the United States and elsewhere. We marveled at the geysers but the kids say that they stink, only odor of course, and we sat for almost the entire 4 hour window to observe Grand in all its wonder. We looked in amazement at Mammoth and we gasped when we crested mountains at such heights it took our breath away. A family from Illinois can be entertained in such easy ways. We enjoyed the night we went to the Amphitheater to listen to the park ranger talk of the wildlife in the park and we had an opportunity or two to observe this wildlife on our daily treks about the park. We put 400 miles on in 4 days going about in the park. It was a sight we shall never forget! We wanted to let the employees of Yellowstone know that we appreciate each and every one of them for the job they have in maintaining the park so that our future generations can look with admiration and awe at the beauty that is Yellowstone. In closing I am sending a photo that was taken during our stay this July at Mammoth and I feel it alone speaks of the majesty of your park without words. Again I extend our thanks. Wanda and Gary Younger and the Younger Family Just a little note to say thank you for arranging accommodation for us on our trip to Wyoming and Yellowstone. Everything was perfect, and we had a great time! Without doubt the best place we stayed was at Pine Gables at Evanston, that was so beautiful and the people were so welcoming.... absolutely first class in every respect! We arrived home in England a couple of days ago.... still suffering from jet-lag etc. We had a great holiday and saw so much while we were in America. Thanks again for all your help. Regards, Rod
