Yellowstone (north loop)

I left the campground early and as a result there were times when I had the Chief Joseph Highway and Route 212 into Yellowstone pretty much to myself.  When it is just you and your bike out in the middle of nowhere, listening to that engine purr is the sweetest sound this side of a woman saying "yes".

Unfortunately, the solitude did not last.  The park was a lot more crowded then earlier in the week and vehicles were parked all over the place wherever there was wildlife or a major point of interest.
