Stayed at the Sportsman's Lodge last night, about 80 miles from Yellowstone National Park. The room was what you would call a "Rustic Shithole". Left early, very Cold! Beautiful ride in alongside a stream which opened up into a lake. Could see the steam off the water in some places.
Entered the park by 9:30 and saw two buffalo eating breakfast by 9:45. At about 11:00, I watched Old Faithful from a far, very Spectacular! I honestly wasn't even that excited at first, but after the show, I was thoroughly impressed.
It was pretty cold out today, rode past these hills right before exiting Yellowstone. It was cold enough to hold some snow just a few hundred feet above where I was standing.
Anyways, saw many other wonderful things in the park. It's a beautiful place. However, if I had my choice to go to ether Yellowstone or Yosemite, I would choose Yosemite.
Rode from North to South through the park, and then passed through Teton National Park which boarders Yellowstone. Also, beautiful scenery.
Hit Jackson Hole by 2:30, and was quite warm by then. Had a little lunch and did a little gift shopping as well. Awesome little town, and the perfect place to do both. I would like to head back there sometime in the near future (w/o The Norm however).
Then came the long boring ride South. Uh.... Flat, straight and windy. Watch out for animals, saw many crossing the road today.
