Heading out of Yellowstone National Park through the West gate this morning we saw one of the traffic jams we had heard about but fortunately avoided all week. Driving towards the West gate there was one lonely Bison on the opposite side on the road on the shoulder. One car had stopped in the middle of the lane to look, everyone behind them stopped as well. That side of the road was backed up by that one bison for miles. All the rangers talked about how this happens all the time.
Then at the gate itself as we left there were about 5 lines of traffic waiting to get in. What a mess. We decided it is best to enter the Park at 3:00 in the morning like we did. No traffic at all then.
Upon entering the town of "West Yellowstone" we suddenly acquired cell service!! Hurray! Our phones began to chirp and ding and ring all at once. Unfortunately one of those messages told of a sick family member. We decided to go see if we could be of assistance. Our detour may have us off the road for a bit. No worries, Glen and Debbie and Rocinante will be back on our voyage as soon as we are able.
Happy Trails to you until we meet again. Really? Roy Rogers and Dale Evans?
