The road goes on for ever, and the party never ends

August 12
Before we left Cody we went to the Old Trail Town Museum which we thought was much better than the Buffalo Bill one. Perhaps the good night’s sleep on the best bed in the west had something to do with it. The leaflet said that it had “actual authentic” artefacts and here are the photos.
We drove to Yellowstone on Chief Joseph’s Scenic Route then the Bear Tooth Scenic Highway, stopping off at more jaw-dropping, stomach-flipping, tongue-tying, tear-jerking views.

We arrived at Yellowstone in hail, with thunder and lightening, then out came the sun and dried out all the rain. We saw bison and a grizzly bear – it was so exciting. We’ve got a cabin for 3 nights, just half a mile from the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Pictures are here.
The cabin is basic. There’s no air-conditioning, no mobile phone reception, no internet access, no TV, no iron, no hairdryer. It’s great! Just a bed and basic washing facilities. Bears, elk and bison all around.
