It used to be that September/October was a great time to go places since school was back in session. But not any more, now it's a ton of old people out and about. I figure there's now three seasons: High Season, Low Season, and Geezer Season.

We were at Yellowstone a couple years ago during the last week of September and it was nearly as crowded as peak summer season. Lots of lines, no parking, and busy shops and cafe's. Crazy. We left the day before Fishing Bridge Campground closed for the season, and were just amazed at the number of people.

Geezer season is a good name for it. I've seen it at USACE campgrounds where they get the huge senior discount and can get a site for some ridiculously small cost. That discount should be nixed IMO.

At one we were at last year. A sawmill on the road in would bring out bins on pallets with free slab firewood a few times a day. The Fall geezers would camp out there all morning waiting for the next bin, then it looked like a riot going after it. God forbid you pulled in to get a few pieces, they would run right over you or push you out of the way. They would load their wifes arms up like they were loading mules lol. It was fun to watch however.
