We departed Cody, Wyoming, without seeing much of the famous town. Too bad, after all "Buffalo Bill" Cody founded the town and there is a Buffalo Bill Historical Center, a Buffalo Bill State Park, and a Buffalo Bill Reservoir. But we were in a hurry because my friend wanted to see a grizzly bear in Yellowstone National Park and travel the Going-to-the-Sun-Road in Glacier National Park before our trip ended.
So we headed up into the mountains on the scenic "Chief Joseph Highway" in northeastern Wyoming and entered Yellowstone Park at the northeastern entrance. We drove along much of the same stretch of road which we had traveled on our first time through the park and still didn't see any bears, not even a black one.
Disappointed we left the park at the northern entrance and headed for Helena, Montana, to try to take a boat ride through the Gates of the Mountains the next day, which we had missed because of bad weather as we passed through this area earlier.
There isn't much to report about this part of the trip, except that the campground we ended up in was the worst we had experiences so far. The campground itself wasn't that bad, only that it was full except for one slot between some semi-permanent campers. It looked like we were in a junk yard. But it served the purpose and that was day number 26.
