Continuing up the Beartooth highway which is mainly in Wyoming. Huge vistas everywhere. This road was not for the faint of heart! Another beautiful campground appeared for us. The camp host went to the Naval Academy with Roger Staubach and shared stories about him. This campground was adjacent to a huge ranch owned by the Quaker Oats family. Gorgeous ranch home!

There were lots of hairpin turns as we climbed up to the Rock Creek Vista ranger station that had a beautiful walkway to view the mountains. This antique vehicle was one of the original Yellowstone touring cars that brought guests up to see the sights. It has been refurbished and is back in business! We stopped and hiked up to a beautiful falls.
Over the highest pass (it was very cold and windy up there) and then on our way down into North Yellowstone. This was the most beautiful part of the drive with mountain lakes and pine trees.
I was thinking how very friendly people are--smiling at us all the time. Then I realized it was Bailey they were looking at! She is always a big hit.
Driving through Yellowstone, we have seen 4 bear, several antelope and a thousand buffalo! We had to stop twice for horses loose on the road and a man riding a unicycle along the highway with no civilization for miles!
On to Great Falls Montana to stop at an ER to check out Pete's left arm pain and numbness which was made worse by turning his head. After convincing the ER staff that his heart was fine, they did a neck Xray which showed arthritis. Armed with muscle relaxers, steroids and arthritis medication we were on our way again. Just a little worse for wear!
