Saturday we left Seattle area and actually started east. Our first day out we drove hard, steep mountain passes and made it to Osburn, Idaho. Wow, Idaho is a really neat state. It has very steep mountains, lovely streams and the scenery just doesn't quit.
Sunday morning we leave Idaho headed for Montana. We were thinking of heading north to Glasier National Park. When we were at the Idaho campsite the people next to us said their sister lived near the park and that a normal 2 hour drive in an auto took them 4 hours, so we scrapped that idea, and instead we thought if we could make it to Livingston, Montana then we might be able to go into Yellowstone. Just after we threw that idea around Nancy looked out the side window and wow, a real live cowboy herding a bunch of cattle down the service road. Never did Tom or Nancy think that they would see that. But, between Harley stores they sure did.
Monday morning was cool, but with a great weather forcast. The weather was for high 60's to low 70's in Yellowstone, and off we went. The road from Livingston to Yellowstone is a federal highway and has some really magnificent sights. When we arrived at the entrance to Yellowstone Nancy got out and took a few photo's of the entrance. From there they deceided that we would travel clockwise around the park. We found the upper and lower falls. Lovely!
We found many hot springs
the edges of the volcano's and of course the old "Faithful". 
We had a wonderful day in the park and Charley liked her ride with us.
We saw buffalo, elk and of course deer. Charley even got close to the Elk for a short time. 
Our ride back to Livingston was great, we had the sun coming over some mountains to the west and highlighting the mountains to our east, yes we got some terriffic shots. Tom will have to figure out what shots to post for you.
We arrive back at campsite tired and glad to be home.
