Welcome to Wyoming

We are back on the grid for a few days. We left Yellowstone this morning and had to do a detour of 75+ miles to get around the fires. Everything was getting VERY smokey. I am glad we did take the upper route because we got to see a LOT of bison. We were stuck in a bison-jam for a very long time. There isn't any real incentive for them to coordinate when to cross the highway so as soon as one group steps off the pavement there are more stepping on.

We finally got through and saw scenes of the mountains that you usually would only see very early on a misty morning, but it was smoke instead of morning fog.
We dipped back up into Montana and then back into Wyoming. We went over Dead Indian Pass and then swooped back down into the Wyoming that we remember. We were just getting ready to put the camera away because you can only take so many pictures of sagebrush when we came upon a roundup. Cowboys whistling and whooping and lots of cattle going Moooooo.

Now Beth spent a lot of Saturday mornings watching cowboy movies as a kid and always wanted to be a cowgirl when she got bigger, but she never has been able to whistle and she would probably would have not been as effective with a duck call in her mouth.

Well anyhow, Beth started hopping in her seat until I could stop the car.
She ran across the street taking pictures until I took over so she could resume jumping up and down. She was sooooo excited. This was a big event. Welcome to cowboy territory
