Driving through Boysen State Park and the Wind River Canyon (pictured above) was awe-inspiring. The Wyoming badlands were gorgeous. We just kept gaping and wishing Woodie were here to capture it all in pictures.

Trying to be good in the badlands

As we went farther north in Wyoming and into Montana, it was like lovebug season in south Alabama or visiting the Mississippi delta. It made us wonder about a couple we met this morning as we and they were about to leave the hotel in Casper. They were from Omaha, also headed for Yellowstone, about our age and traveling on a motorcycle. I happened to notice as they rode off that they were wearing helmets with no face coverings. Bet they're still picking bugs out of their teeth even now!
