Way Out West 2021

---

This was Day 7. Hard to believe what we’ve packed into a week. We’ve traveled through 11states. We’ve stayed in 3 Airbnb’s and 3 hotels and we’ve traveled 2642 miles. We’ve been to the geographic center of the 48 states, visited 3 national parks, countless national monuments or historical sites, witnessed a 61 degree temp change get in 2 days. We’ve traveled Interstates, state roads, county roads, and dirt roads. We’ve fished a little and shopped a lot! We’ve talked to countless travelers from all over the United States and given a lot of advice and taken a little. So far it’s it’s been great.

Today we started out at the Roosevelt Arch and headed through Yellowstone to see Ike Faithful. We stopped several places along the way; Mammoth Hot Springs, Fort Yellowstone, Sheepeater Cliff, Gibbon Falls, Firehole Canyon, and finally made it to Ole Faithful. We ran across the parking lot and saw the end of ole faithfuls display, then headed back north to Gardiner. We finally saw some wildlife…a bison walking right up the middle of the road with traffic on either side and a couple of elk.

When the sun was out it was beautiful. When it rained it was chilly.. right to the bone. But there were no complaints out of this group. We were happy to see all the beautiful scenery Yellowstone had to offer.

Back to Gardiner for the guys to fish for a few hours. We had a home cooked dinner, then a relaxing evening and off to bed!
