August 22, 2010 – Day 10 (210.8 Miles).
We took a quick walk after breakfast and hit the road again. We decided to change our route & took Beartooth All-American Road, a more scenic route toward Yellowstone National Park. The 60 mile Beartooth Highway was a route Charles Kuralt took when he did the “On the Road” series. At the end of this route we spotted chipmunks (they were sitting on people laps who were feeding them sunflower seeds) at a rest stop high up in the mountains. Jan was disappointed they didn’t care for her bread. Once in Yellowstone Nat’l Park Jan spotted some antelopes (actually Pronghorn). A little farther we saw a large herd of bisons. Later more bisons were spotted in different locations. We saw mountain goats and a black bear though binoculars but not close enough for pictures. The landscape kept changing as we bounced between Montana (the 2nd of the 5 states we hadn’t been to before) & Wyoming (the 7th & 8th states of the trip).
