Our Life in Yellowstone - WHERE WE WORK - FORT YELLOWSTONE

We finished our time at Yellowstone General Store on September 22nd. Said our goodbyes to all of new friends that we made , very emotional time for us! The time really flew by for us too, five months in paradise!
These photos will show actually where we did work for the summer in Mammoth. We had a wonderful time and met some new best friends too! It really was a great adventure for us and we hope to do it again!
This was our view every morning in our campground

This the 1st store we worked at in Old Faithful. It is also one of the oldest in the park, build in 1893

OUR LIFE IN YELLOWSTONE - Where we live - FORT YELLOWSTONE

Geni and I have lived and worked in Yellowstone National Park now for over 5 months. We started in Old Faithful and then transferred to the Mammoth area in the first of June. This post will show and give a history of the beautiful Mammoth Hot springs area. This was once a official Army post and a fort! LINK: https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/exploremammoth.htm .
The buildings here are some of the oldest and most beautiful in the park! It has been a real joy to live and hike here the whole summer.
