| A perfect spot for a photo of
Annie's two favorite men! |
 |
| Ah, yes . . . another picnic
spot, this one along the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River. |
 |
| And, as always, Petit Jean
products were on the menu. Mmmm . . . mmmm . . . good! |
 |
| As we arrived at the Silver Gate
entrance into Yellowstone, near Cooke City, we realized that we have now traversed through
all of the park's entrances over the years. Our first trip to
Yellowstone was in the summer of 1979 and our last, just a couple of weeks
ago. |
 |
| Needless to say, camping at one
campgrounds within the park, during the summer months, is nearly
impossible. |
 |
| Normally, Harley is a great
rider. One of his favorite activities is to "go in the
car" but we were reminded, while on the Beartooth, that he doesn't
tolerate high mountain passes very well. He becomes very anxious and
pants a lot. We assume that is because of the changing air pressure,
as we climb in altitude can sense the decreased oxygen in the air.
So, we decided not to retrace our route along the Beartooth to get back to
our campsite but, rather, to travel a circuitous route along the Chief
Joseph. |

| The Chief Joseph follows the
Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone (the same one where we had our picnic) as it travels
through deep ravines. This photo was taken from a scenic vista along
the highway. |
