Day 8 Thursday August 2nd

We rode 157 miles from Jackson Hole Wyoming to Gardiner Montana today. What a fantastic day. We rode into Yellowstone National Park. It is one of the largest parks in America. Over 3 million people visit the park each year and I think all of them were there today. The speed through the park is regulated at around 35 or 45 mph so we had to go slow for 100 miles but it gave us time to look around. We stopped to see Old Faithfull (it was) and stopped by rivers, waterfalls and the wildlife. Tonight we are staying in little motel cabins straight out of the sixties. So cute and clean.
So far we have travelled 2,093. I have used 51.23 gallons had eight gas (petrol) fill ups at an average cost of $3.98 per gallon. Average mile per gallon on my bike is 43. The Syracuse Hogs arrived in Salt Lake City today and will take two days to get to Sturgis.
Peter is finally out - "what speed are we doing?"

Grand Tetons were grand

Fancy eating house - even had knives and forks
