First Contact:
I entered Montana from the east in nearly the middle of nowhere
along the lonliest stretch of I-94 there is. The road was empty and
it was the late morning. Soon I drove past the town of Wilbaux,
but did not stop for many hours since I was satisfied by a gas
station in Medora, ND. The ride was uneventful until we took a
left-hand turn into the Rockies and began driving up the "Hallway"
that leads to the door of Yellowstone. |

The Yellowstone Valley is like a hallway as it
leads up to the famous national park. (8/2007)
My feet are wet with the cold Yellowstone waters.
Slimy grass grows just under the surface, a perfect river for
trout. (8/2007) all photos (c) 2007 J. Bezold, all rights reserved |
