To Yellowstone!

Yesterday we awoke in Dubois and were sent off with well wishes from our neighbor campers who were driving cross country, Marisa and Evan. They were so sweet and gave us fruit bars and their info in case of emergency.
We rode 60-some miles from Dubois to Colter bay Campground in Grand Teton National Park.
THE RIDE WAS PHENOMENAL. The climb was fine, the downhill was the fastest I've gone in a while due to recent inhibiting winds, and the TETONS ARE STUNNING. The most beautiful mountains I've seen. They look like where the grinch lives above Whoville to me, and then I started wanting Christmas.
But we camped and ate ramen; roughed it, ya know. We've spoiled ourselves mostly this trip by eating out primarily. But the parks are just too expensive.
We met Susan, she started in Colorado and had Yellowstone as her destination, but she might keep going.
We took our time this morning because we didn't want to start in the freezing cold, so we weren't on the road til around 1030. And we stopped a lot on our ride. To take in the views and check out the sites and beautiful vistas the park provides. It was a beautiful day, and for all the complaints about traffic and bad drivers in the park, Thomas and I both found the ride pleasant, and the motorists friendly. (though many don't respond to my wave)
We were gonna do 73 miles to Madison, but since we were initially gonna take a rest day in Yellowstone, we decided not to rush it, so here we are, at Grand village, camping only 40 miles from where we started this morning.
No grizzlies yet:(! Hopefully tomorrow I can hitch a ride on one's back or something.
Can't believe I'm in Yellowstone. In Wyoming. And almost to Montana. Ah!
