Subject:Re: To Yellowstone in a Diesel?

Well, I just drove through the Tetons and the road south of Yellowstone
which is pretty view and relatively flat. On that road the Idaho side going
east from Idaho Falls is rather strenuous but approaching Yellowstone from
southeast in Wyoming is probably easiest but that is a very boring and
sparsely populated area.
Bon Voyage
