At Henry's Lake, Bill Frome County Park

 

Bill Frome County Park is on the west side of Henry's Lake.  Frome park has no thrills...no water, no electricity, but two modern outhouses for $15 per night (was free up until a few years ago).  Generators are ok except between 10 pm and 6 am.  With this boat dock pictured above, the park entertains many boaters, some of whom camp overnight too.   

This is our third or fourth time staying here. It is 30 miles from the entrance at West Yellowstone.  Yellowstone has comping, but you need to make reservations at most of them.  Since we will be visiting Yellowstone 3 or 4 times while being here, the drive will keep our batteries full, although I typically run the generator for 60-90 minutes at nightfall when we dry camp like this.  

So we left Cracker Barrel in Missoula around 8:30 am.  Had a good night sleep, and figured we would be at Henry's Lake around 1:30 pm.  On the way our GPS reboot itself, and in doing so, wiped out my trip.  I quickly found "Henry's Lake" and input it into the GPS and continued.  This route had me turn south on I-15, which we did.  Around 2 while getting gas I realized the GPS had the wrong lake...we needed to go east to highway 20 and back up through Island Park and to Henrys Lake...90 miles away.  I figured we drove 150-180 extra miles...and that was not fun since I had programed myself for a 5 hour drive, 6 after rest stops.  We arrived at the park around 5 pm.

Today we went NOWHERE.  Tomorrow we will go to Yellowstone, and probably Friday and Saturday, maybe Sunday.  We paid for two nights here at Frome, but my guess is we will pay and be here through Monday.  Tuesday we will move further south so that we can be in Salt Lake City on Wednesday for a couple of days.
