Etna, WY post office

We got to Etna, Wyoming about early afternoon after passing through a couple of small towns.  We stopped at a Family Dollar on the way to get some supplies.  The clerks were very friendly, and helpful.

When we got to Etna, we drove through town to the end where we found the general store that was also the post office for the town. I went in and you could tell right away that the place was geared for tourists.  Everything was over priced bad, and set up to make money.  The proprietor was an ass, and didn't like the fact that I was picking up my package 4 days after it got to his small post office.  I was really put off by his attitude.  The only good thing about this place was I bought some wood for a campfire.  When paying for it, I asked about camping and was told where we could stay for the night. We were still about an hour away from Yellowstone, and it was getting dark fast, so we decided to stay nearby.

We stayed at a small site called Alpine Campground.  It had about 12 sites, and they were all full but three.  One of those were reserved, so we had the choice of right near the entrance and the noise of traffic on the highway, or a double car site in the middle of the park with campers on all sides.  We choose the double park because traffic was heavy and loud.  It turned out pretty good except for the group that had the site reserved showed up next to us, and they were LOUD.  Telling stories about white water rafting and how great they were.  They were loud long after quiet time (10pm to 6am), so when we got up at 5:50am, we got loud too, packing up our site and making coffee....LOL

We are going to have to cut the trip a little short because Nancy got some good news on the phone.  She has a job interview on the 3rd, so we will be skipping.  Were on our way to Seattle now, and will be spending only one night there, and then off to see the Redwood Forest.  Then a straight line back to Texas so she can get ready for the interview.  Until tomorrow!
