It's OK that my relatives don't get it - because I don't get why one of them would fly cross country to Yellowstone for a one-day tour and then leave.
These are retired people with no time, health or money constraints, who could check into the Old Faithful Inn for a week, drive all over on their own and really enjoy the place in depth. Or buy the most expensive, nicest of RVs with all the bells and whistles if they chose, and enjoy all of America's fabulous National Parks.
Or worse than that, I have friends with the same financial and time freedom who travel all over the world but have never BEEN to Yellowstone, or to Utah's NPs either. They don't know what they are missing.
But then again, neither one of my brothers or those friends can or will screw in a new lightbulb. I think if you are mechanically inclined, enjoy tinkering and know how to fix things you are more likely to enjoy owning an RV.
Different strokes.
