We rolled into town under threatening storm clouds but we're able to set up camp with dry weather. Steve decided to stay in camp while Jerry and I went to town for a burger.

Red Lodge, MT
We had a leisurely breakfast in Cody this morning and headed out on the highway for a short drive of 118 miles to Red Lodge, MT over Chief Joseph and Beartooth pass unarguably the top 2 motorcycle roads in the country. The views are spectacular and the winding road with 65-70 mph speed limits is icing on the cake.
Cody Wyoming
I split off from Steve and Jerry and road to Dubois, WY to see a friend, Mark Quigley, who is guiding fly fisherman this summer in the area. We had a meal at the Cowboy Cafe and then Mark showed me some local sights. One was a lake that is the head waters of the Wind River. From there we went to the top of a pass where we could see the Grand Teton Mountains.
After saying our goodbyes Mark took off to do some fishing on his own and I headed for Cody by driving through Teton and Yellowstone National parks to catch up with the guys. We spent the night tent camping and doing laundry at a KOA.

I almost got run over by a very large bull Bison while leaving Yellowstone. He came lumbering out of the bushes and onto the road just as I went past. Literally had I been a second later he would have bowled me over. No time for a picture but I have the incident imprinted in my mind.
