Moving Day

We moved from the Moran Junction site across Yelowstone to the north entrance at Gardner, Mt. It was an uneventful drive outside of a traffic ticket for speeding. I was doing 49 in a 35 which I thought was a 45. The Rangers are on a zero tolerance program because a woman pushing a jogging stroller was hit by car and badly injured two days ago.
After we set up, we found out that our site is only partially covered by wi-fi, so I'm down in the laundry room typing away. Anyway, after setting up I convinced Dana to go on a trip out the northeast gate to Cooke City and up Rt 212 known as The Beartooth Hwy to Red Lodge, Mt. (Three of the parks 5 entrances are in Montana even though only a tiny amount of park is in there. ) It was a great ride upover 10,000 feet and back into Alpine and some Tundra areas. If I haven,t mentioned, the weather has been high and dry most of the time here, with day time temps in the low 90's. At these altitudes, that's hot and dehydration is a big thing. Fortunately, from the cab of an air conditioned truck, the heat is not too bad. On the trip back from Red Lodge, we took a slight detour to pick up another piece if scenic highway. We were still in the mountains when the sun went down and didn't return home until 11:00 pm.
