Another Westward Trip


 Traveling through Wyoming on our way to Yellowstone. Beautiful drive, winding roads and high elevation mean you have to eventually come down.

 Pyramid rock off to the right. We had just come down from 8400' and the brakes needed some time to cool.

 Our road is just visible at the bottom of this picture.

 We camped at Buffalo Bill State Park in Wyoming so we could get an early start for Yellowstone. This is a great campground. We got our early start but it didn't matter, the park was packed. We were 19th in line at Norris Campground, 19 sites were potentially available but the people could extend for another night. We decided not to wait and find out. I couldn't believe how crowded the park was, it seemed just as crowded as when we drove through this past June.

 We drove to near Prineville, OR and camped in the National Forest. 

 

 Oregon fires created a lot of smoke as you can see from these last two pictures. The first Saturday we were in Portland the haze and ash earned them the honor of worst air quality in America for that day.
