STORY FROM THE ROAD

After New Year's Day in town, I drove back to our house at Hart Ranch, about 10 miles south of Rapid City as a dense freezing fog set in. As I drove the narrow two-lane between SD HWY 79 and our house, I had a chance to stop and get some photos of the fog freezing on everything from trees to barbed-wire fences.

August Odyssey in Wyoming

Day 1
On the first leg of our three-day trip from Bozeman back to Rapid City, we drove over the Beartooth Highway (US HWY 212) to the junction of WY HWY 296, the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, through Sunlight Basin. Leesha got out and hiked with us out to one of the iconic scenic overlooks on the Beartooth Highway -- a long hike for a pet cat without a leash!
