RUN FOR THE WALL Jean and Larry: August 6, 2025

August 6, 2025 - Cheyenne, WY to Laurel, MT

What a great day!! It started out pretty foggy. And yes, Jenny, this is really fog.

But it soon started to clear and the colors are amazing.

Heading down the road we saw bison. (sorry no pic) Question of the day:

What is the difference between bison and buffalo?

Answer: remember the 3 H's: hump, home, horns

1. Bison have a hump, buffalo do not

2. Bison are native to N. America, buffalo (water and cape) are native to Asia and Africa

3, Bison have short horns and buffalo have long ones.

Aren't you glad you now know that. Hahahaha

Ok moving on. As we head to Chief Joseph Scenic Byway, we go thru Shoshoni. This is a lake as we see as we enter the town. Kind of strange since for miles there are no lakes or rivers. Not even trees. Just rocks.

We enter Chief Joseph and here is the Wind River. It runs along the road for a long way. This is also an Indian Reservation for Shoshoni and Arapaho.

Fun Fact: The Wind River Indian Reservation is the seventh largest American Indian reservation in the United States by area and the fifth-largest by population.

The pass is 26.1 miles long.

Amazing how big this is!!!

Here are some spectacular pics that do not even come close to their beauty

There was a bridge that we stopped at for photos.

If you see the cars on the left, Larry is actually standing there.

Ron and I were across the bridge.

See if you can find him, he has on a red hat.

We go right into Beartooth Highway. This is 68 miles long if you go from Red Lodge to the entrance of Yellowstone. We were on about 2/3 of this. It was a very windy road and again beautiful.
