Today was another long and scenic drive-- 10 hours worth, looping up to the northwest of Cody along the route taken by Chief Joseph fleeing the army, then into the northeast entrance of Yellowstone. The north is high elevation plains with sagebrush, snowmelt slush and streams, and lots of wildlife. We gradually dropped down to the lake level, which is over 7,000 foot elevation. We passed down into the caldera and saw bubbling mud that smelled of rotten eggs (sulphur), then along the frozen lake and back to Cody. Tomorrow we will go back into Yellowstone from the east entrance, past Old Faithful and out the west entrance, then boogie toward home. Nothing else to do but drive and drive.
