Yellowstone is having a big problem with norovirus. The breakfast bar was like any self-service buffet line, but there were gloved staff handling all the food items.
We escaped Yellowstone without norovirus, animal attacks, or serious injuries from attack by two-legged animals.
Heading south, we quickly passed our fourth continental divide, putting us back on the Pacific watershed. Then it was steadily downhill out of Yellowstone and into Grand Teton National Park. We think the Teton scenery is as beautiful as any we've seen anywhere.
As soon as we turned east, away from the Teton area, we passed very large ranches and wide open empty spaces. Later we were told the whole population of Wyoming is less than Seattle's or Denver's.
Our stop for the night was at a lodge on the large Hatchet Ranch in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness it boasted a well supplied bar and grill.
The ride for the day was about 60 miles, generally downhill, but the combination of heat and high-altitude intense sun left us tired. We were also sunburned, despite faithful use of sunblock.
