Day Thirteen: Saturday, May 12, 2007

May 13, 2007 By 2 Comments

Deer Lodge to Madison Camp, Yellowstone

Today was perfect motorcycle touring weather: sunshine, mid — 70’s, no one else on the road.

Just outside of Butte, MT

Just outside of Yellowstone, the wildlife started showing up:

"Buffler!"

More critters...

And more bison

Caught this one taking a dust bath:

How to take a dust bath, first find some dust...

...and then roll in it.

And then this one decided to come closer to check me out — I promptly decided to leave.

I think he liked my red jacket

Checked into my campsite about 3:30

Camp Madison

…and promptly spent the next two hours gazing up at this sight from my hammock.

PS: I’m staying in Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Park another day. It may be a few days before I post again. Internet access here is rare and expensive.
PPS: So is cell service. Happy Mother’s Day to all! Mom, I’ll call as soon as I find a cell signal.

    Looking at these pictures makes me want to be back out on the road! This blog is great but it is NOT the same as being there … trust me … not even close. The pics are great. The whole thing is something we all need to do, badly. But my consolation prize is … I actually still do own a Harley and I can just get on it and ride away, which I did for a couple hours yesterday … life is grand.

    ps; where are all the comments?! those watching need to speak up … I know Bill wants to hear from you.

    Thanks Pete, I do appreciate the comments. I can tell that there are quite a few of you monitoring the blog, but I don’t know who it is until you comment.
