Vacation Report: Day Four #2

Back in the day, filling stations along the hi-ways and bi-ways of this great country of ours would employ attendants who would pump your gas for you, wash your windows, check your oil, wish you a safe journey and send you on your merry way confident that the motor-going public was in safe hands when needing a quick fill-up. Today your lucky to get a nod from the guy at the counter inside when the pump won't accept your debit card.

Except at The Red Barn gas and convenience store just East of Yellowstone on the North Fork Highway! Here you'll be greeted by arguably the friendliest service station attendant you'll ever meet. We're not sure of his name (it wasn't on his tag) and he didn't actually pump the gas or wash the windows, but he made sure everything ran smoothly at the Red Barn and sent you on your way a little cheerier than you may have arrived! And you can tip him with Goldfish crackers!



Make sure to say "Hey!" next time you're traveling that way!
