- What we ate: P7A77: Chicken Ranch Special, Sprite; Amie: Moons Over My Hammy Special, Sprite
- As the folks around Yellowstone are smart and don't have any Denny's, you're getting a couple days' worth of photos in this entry.
- After waking up in southwestern Wyoming, we headed straight towards Yellowstone. Well, as straight as the roads would allow. We had to cross over into Idaho at one point. Now, for most of the trip, I was driving at or under the speed limit, but we really wanted to get to Yellowstone. The local smokeys are keenly aware their scenery sucks compared to what lies in either direction, and were ready to pounce. Remember, we were from northern California. Let's just say "Amie" and "clambake" are two words that worked well together on this trip. Luckily the trooper either didn't notice or didn't care and was content to simply issue a $75 speeding ticket.
- We got through that, passed through a town with an overabundance of antlers, hung out at the water near the Grand Tetons, straddled the Continental Divide, and took in the sunset.
- Day two at Yellowstone encompassed the standard fare to be expected, which is to say bison, geysers, and the titular attraction. Nothing like being on the world's largest active volcano for vivid scenery.
- On our way out we drove into a rainbow then up through Bear Tooth Pass into Montana. I didn't find out until later that one of our tires was almost shredded. You're lucky to get these entries at all, so I don't want to hear any complaining that they're boring and filled with photos.
- Finally we hit a Denny's in Billings where we took advantage of their Specials. As Amie's a Moons freak, she was shitting herself over the Moons special (both before and after dinner). Settled into our hotel, which for some reason had us listed as the Guest of the Day. Good thing we weren't trying to stay out of sight or have some privacy or anything. As payment for waving our identity to the world, they gave us a fabric pumpkin and a basket full of snacks.
- WAY: No
- Free Stuff: Nothing (unless you count the goodie basket from the hotel)
