Yellowstone here we come!

We got up this morning and hit the road once again. We took off and did a little drive by tour of the town on Butte. This was one of the oldest mining towns in the US so we had to at least take a look. It took us about 2 1/2 hours to make it down to Yellowstone National Park. There were many beautiful sites to see on the drive and it only got better as we got closer. When we made it to the park we found out once more that the pass to get out of the park was closed. So we had to drive through the park and make a U-Turn and come out the same way we came in. This took about 3 hours out of our day. Although the bad news came, the scenery changed our moods. Our first stop was at the Mammoth Hot Springs just as you enter the park from the North entrance. They were quite the site to see and more of a stench to smell. Needless to say we didn't spend too much time there. When then headed into the park to get a look at the wildlife. Little did we know how good of a look we would get. It only took about 5 minutes to find our first buffalo right on the side of the road. This would be a continuing theme. As we drove down we saw all kinds of wildlife including buffalo, elk, deer, rams and even wolves! It was an amazing drive and even though we did not get to make it down to see Old Faithful, because every road but one is closed, it was well worth the trip. After Yellowstone we headed further west so that we could make it to our next destination of Mount Rushmore. We stopped off in Billings, MT at this nice little brewery for dinner. We will have to take this splitting meals thing back to real life with us. After a recharge of dinner and fuel we were off east. We made it to Moorecroft, MT before we stopped for the night. We also have quite a day ahead of us tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well!
