More Yellowstone

Yellowstone is just huge. It has 5 entrances, and yesterday we got around to going out the last one, the East Gate. The entrance highway is under construction which meant a half hour stop on the way through. Route 14 runs to Cody, Wy., so we took off. The ride, like all the entry-exit rides, is a trip in itself. Might be the prettiest thing the Park offers. Cody seemed like a nice place, and we found a steak and ribs place for a late lunch-early dinner. (looking for those early-bird specials.) The food was good, the dessert great, and we wandered around Cody a bit. The trip home brought us in the Northeast Gate so we had to traverse the park to the North Gate and the Roosevelt Arch. Another 300 mile trip. Today is our last day here and we leave for Helena, Mt., and a visit with the old sea dog, Bob Nystrand.
