Slight detour and pretty drive
Plan for the day was to go east and then turn south a few miles before Bozeman to head to West Yellowstone. We were passed on the freeway by a number of cars and trucks moving pretty fast and some moved back in front of us without much buffer space. Several times we heard ticks as rocks were thrown in our path. There were also many bugs which also make ticks when they hit the windshield. I happened to look over at a spot on the windshield that I didn’t remember seeing earlier. I asked Sue to look at it and she said it was a chip and it looked pretty deep. So—out comes the smart phone to research and contact glass repair in Bozeman. First try was swamped but second call said come on in. Drove ten miles, past our planned turn, to Bozeman. Parked on side street next to glass shop. After small delay to finish another job, our windshield was repaired to almost undetectable in just a short time and we were on our way. Returned to planned route by a different road so no back tracking. Road to West Yellowstone from the north is designated as scenic by AAA and it is. It follows the Gallitin River which is a very popular fishing locale. There were lots of them doing their thing. Scenery is great. Narrow canyons and high meadows, all green.
This is the middle of summer and finding a camp spot for tonight was a bit dicey but thanks to the smart phone and research by Sue we finally pinned down a spot just as we got to town.
Parked, hooked up, and then walked into town to the post office and then to sightsee for a while.
