Here is the first half of the second day:
Foggy. It wasn’t when I got up, but it was when I took off. 50 miles to Gardiner, /\/\T, and 40 of it was 30mph fog.
(All photos Nikon Coolpix L11 unless otherwise noted!)
There was a fire in the north east corner of Yellowstone National Park, so I went south…
There are several herds of Elk near (or in) Mammoth.
It was cool when I started in the fog, so I put on my sweat pants under my Aerostitch riding suit, and my electric vest. It warmed up in the Park, so I took them off at about 50F. Then the temperature dropped…to 26F. Brisk.
The bike seemed a little gutless. I figured it was dragging my boat anchor…errr…trailer full of camping gear. It could be riding at 7000-8500 feet all day with a normally aspirated (carbs) engine. This actually became a bit important when I had to stop for the buffalo on the road…he did keep to the other lane, as good on coming traffic should.

More Buffalo!

Stay tuned for Part 2!
