On my way to Cody I went through the northern tip of Yellowstone park in order to ride the Beartooth highway. I had done this road several years ago and the ride was somewhat spoiled by road construction over a large portion of the road. I figured this time it should be perfect with all that new pavement.......wrong again! They were still doing construction and there were several delays, one right after the other. But I managed to pass most of the traffic after the last delay and had a good ride with nobody in front of me all the way into Red Lodge. I took a few pictures today but the only one worth showing was the obligatory Bison shot. I have seen buffalo every time I have been in Yellowstone but never so many as this time. I think the northern area of the park is most favorable for them as it is less forested:
Of course, every place there were bison visible from the road, everybody had to stop, and if I hadn't been on a motorcycle I wouldn't have been able to get past. I only stopped to take this picture because the critters were crossing the road in front of me and I didn't want to piss them off and get gored by an angry momma buffalo.
So now I am in Cody and planning on visiting the Western Museum tomorrow.
