Still rolling,did about 400 miles in 8 hours or so,Yellowstone is amazing,miles and miles of geysers,mountains, and Buffalo,right in the middle of the road.
and Old faithful,got there just in time it only blows its top every 90 minutes,so dam glad we didn't have to wait,worked out great,a little chilly out early on -5 c,made for some ,foggy shots,from the heat, the water in these thing is nice and warm.
Now we are in Gillette Wyoming,this is another very large state,that goes on and on and on
I let Dave drive ,the twistys are fun but I had to remind Dave the when it is suggested 20 mph in the turns, he thought that meant 60 mph,the tires started howling,and squealing,the more I told him to slow down the more he laughed,till a cop drove by on the other side,he thought there were no cops,yes there are cops ,they have nothing else to do,so they hide out and nail people.
So one more day and we are headed back to Denver

We did run in to a German couple they drove a monster all the way up from Panama,yea a tour of the entire north America,makes our trip look like a drive around the block,but I bet we saw cooler stuff, they didnt know about.
Like Graveyard carz

Old faithful is a before and during blowing its top, this a large magma area,the ground around the whole area is even hot.

Hi guys. This is Dave stealing Drews login while he has a smoke outside.
First of all, 20mph was only the suggested speed. The speed limit was 65. I was using low gears (the challenger has paddle shift) and only hitting 95mph on the straight bits so I have no idea why Drew was panicking do you?
Also the cop was miles later.
just because the tyres squeal all the way around these long mountain curves with shear drops on one side meaning instant death if you loose control is no reason to get all in a sweat is it?
Some people are just not very good passengers if you ask me.
