Day 10: (Thursday 9/18/25), Beartooth Highway

I headed out at 7:00 AM to check on the large boar grizzly on the Elk kill.  Then back to the campsite because today was a little bit of an inconvenience.  We are staying in Fishing Bridges RV (FBRV) inside Yellowstone.  I booked our reservations 1 year out.  They always sell out 1 year in advance.  I booked a 30’ site with 30-amp service.  Then in July Sharon and I bought a larger camper 36’ with 50 amp.  I called FB and they said sorry no 50-amp sites available.  I called every day for about 3 weeks to finally get a really nice 60’ ADA site.  I’m guessing about another 10 days of calling I was able to get a site for Thursday.  Which meant we had to be out of site one by 11:00 am and move over to site 2.  We knocked at out in about 45 – 60 minutes. 

We then headed the 80 minutes into Cody for lunch.  We headed up to Red Lodge to the start of BearTooth Highway.  It is supposed to be the most beautiful drive in America.  I was impressed.  We climbed to 13,900 feet.  Temps went from 79 at the valley to 54 at the top.  Drove it down through Cooke City and back into Yellowstone into Lamar valley.

Sharon was a real trooper 7 hours and 400+ miles of windshield time.

Tomorrow, we break camp and head to the Grand Tetons.  More adventures to follow.

When I got to him, he was sleeping and was covered with a blanket of frost.

After about 30 minutes he finally looked up.  I guess according to some guys in the crowd, two other grizzlies tried to move in yesterday afternoon, but he ran them off.  He is not giving his buffet just yet.  I just couldn’t allocate time to hang on with him, which so much other things to see and do!
