Listees,

for the Flatlanders, as I am, be on notice that Beartooth is one of our
family legends.  Once my wife read the map while we coming out of
Yellowstone.  Westy was new to us. "This looks like a nice road.  Let's
take it out of the state (to the East).  We did.  The pass is about
10,500 feet, one of the highest in the US.  Westy labored up the hill in
a very long pull.  If you are faint of heart, reconsider.  If you are
emboldened, go slowly for a wonderful experience.  There is a town in
Wyoming, the name of which begins with "T," which welcomes Vanagons (and
others, too)  with free parking in a well-maintained park with hookups.
You contribute to the elecrticity  fund.
