Day Twelve: 4000 Miles Rolled

The little KIA rolled its 4000th mile today.


And judging from the grill, it has picked up a bug for every mile. We shower and load and take the car for a shower of its own. Then, we head to Yellowstone. I don't have a particular plan for the day and that is no different really then any other day. 

I am drunk on the scenery...


...and wonder if I should be driving. 

I think about my friend Wynn who lived in this area at one time. Her beauty is similar. I wish she were in the passenger seat spouting Montana stories. 

I think about my nieces and nephews and wish I could have brought them on this adventure so they could see this great, beautiful country they will inherit.  

Four thousand miles and I still have not found him yet. But I know he is out here somewhere. 

My thoughts bounce.

Then I get busy site seeing.


I make it to Old Faithful at just the right moment...


...it reminds me that timing is everything. I hope that wasn't him who just left in the black pickup.  

I trace the Gallatin River up to Bozeman; night is approaching but the trail is still  amazing. I spend the night here in Bozeman; just 30 minutes from where I spent the night last night. At this rate I will never get back to Georgia. It is supposed to snow tonight and I am 9 years old again and it is Christmas Eve and I am waiting on Santa Claus. 

Recipes: A little Elk here, a Buffalo there...blend with hot springs and enjoy!

Roadtrips: Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana....pull over as often as you can so you can soak it all in.

Renovations: I fear I will be hungover tomorrow.
