Thanks for your replies. I got reservations at the Grants Village campground and we should be fine.

We're used to camping in Yosemite and the bear box issues. Apparently PAM nonstick spray is "food" and it got confiscated when we stayed there one time in a tent, but the ranger in the kiosk heard me looking for it and questioning DH about misplacing it, and he came over and gave it back after telling me that it was "food". Good to know. We won't have to worry about keeping stuff in the TM. We've never been bothered by bears in the TM, there are too many other "easy pickings" around to choose from.

What I didn't know is that Yellowstone is about 950 miles from Denver, CO! I was really surprised.

I was going to book one of the explorer cabins, but apparently they took them off the reservation site for later 2019 to do "renovations" and it was going to cost like $900 for 7 nights in the next cheapest place and you can't reheat or cook food in your room. So that wasn't going to work for us.

Hoping to have a great trip, thanks again!
