      And mine in 4 hours.
      I guess it's time to find my passport and some clean socks. Maybe underwear, too.

                          Pete, No my wife is coming along, and since we have four days to get there, we only have to make about 400 miles a day. Were going to poke along. If anybody has any suggestions of things to take in along our route please let me know.

                          If you go South out of Yellowstone should get a great view of Grand Teton NP. Of course its great to go to if you have time, but you looks like you have a lot of driving to do.

                          By the way, for anyone with extra time in Boulder, and a car you are are only an hour from Rocky Mountain National Park. but if you go on Labor day weekend, I would go early, could be big crowds at entry and parking if you don't arrive early. If you don't go there, plenty of good hiking and scenery elsewhere in the area.

                          By they way, I may be have shortest travel time. About 4 miles (15 minutes by bike).

                                  We're leaving Butte Montana this morning, and I think we'll follow your advice and see the Grand Teton's.
                                  We went through the Clearwater National Forest yesterday. WoW.

                                      We just got home about an hour ago. Long drive across Nebraska and Iowa but nothing to compare with those long flights some of you have. Although I wish were still at basecamp, I am glad to be back.
