We didn’t take our longest option, just a longer one. We went north from Big Sky and then east (home is southwest) so that we could see the towns of Bozeman and Livingston, then enter Yellowstone at Gardiner, up by Mammoth. It’s the only Yellowstone entrance I have never used. There’s a big stone arch there in honor of Teddy Roosevelt. It was so worth the extra miles. Terry actually didn’t enjoy the corner of Yellowstone. It’s slow going, with some traffic and crowds around attractions. He was in get home mode. Here’s a picture of him by the Madison River.
He cheered up when I started driving and we exited at West Yellowstone. We stopped in Rexburg for a frozen custard at Nielson’s. When we came out the car wouldn’t start! The nice BYU-I coeds that worked inside gave us a jump. It ended up that we didn’t need a new battery, just a new starter. We can take care of that in Boise. The rest of the way was freeway driving. At least half of that was orange cones, one lane, and construction, but we made it.

Boo for construction; we hit a lot of that last week to and from Utah and it was dreadful!
