June 25: Day 45


Bison are everywhere

The most beautiful ride of the tour for George today: riding through Yellow Stone Park. We were pretty concerned about the traffic, especially since we had heard so many negative things about RV's. I guess the known thing in this RV capital of the world is that people rent these big vehicles and are not used to driving them, thus causing many accidents. George started really early to avoid as much traffic as possible. The park is so beautiful that he pretty much tuned out the traffic and totally enjoyed the ride and eye candy. He saw a bald eagle and its nest and lots of Bison up close (sometimes too close for comfort, but these Bison seem to be pretty used to people around here). We both were expecting Yellow Stone (America's first national park) to be very pretty, but it even exceeded our expectations. George was done with his ride by 12:30 ish and then we did lots of site seeing (mainly the Geyser area, including the Old Faithful). We stayed at the Old Faithful Inn and it is really nice (awesome lobby). We even had a couple of drinks (living it up now that George is taking a couple of days off to check out the park) while watching old Faithful erupt. Truly an awesome day all around. Oh, also crossed another state line, will be riding in Montana now after next couple of off days.

We went from Grand Teton National Park, WY to West Yellow Stone, MT
Total Miles: 73
