I recently took a trip to Yellowstone, which was my first time there. What an incredible place and somewhere I hope everyone gets a chance to visit. We saw lots of buffalo, including being w/in arms reach of one walking along the road. We camped one night in the park and this is the shot I got:

There was also the opportunity to practice my off road skills, as a section of the road going through Yellowstone was under construction:

We entered from the South end and exited the North end which is where you'll meet up with the Beartooth Highway. Aaaamazing! This is definitely a bucket list item. It's a roller coaster of a road with the most beautiful scenery you'll see. What a treat to ride. I left 1/4 of an inch of rubber untouched, but I'm pretty happy with that anyway :)

We did a little over 1,500 miles round trip. The 07 was flawless, but my arse hated me, aren't stock seats just lovely :)

That night pic, WOW! Are there always sooo many shooting stars there?!
 
 
(Ha! I know, it's time lapse) What kind camera and how long did you hold the aperture open for to get that shot? It's a cool pic. The others are nice, too. I bet ol' bikie loved playing around in the mud for a change, I may try that sometime, when I'm up to washing that is, I hate a lot of washing. I could seriously lay down a lot of donuts in the mud, woot! Sounds like you had fun, wish I could go there, but not with this glute hating seat.

Nice camera, ($$$$) you could trade it in for a 14' FZ 07, ha!

Did you get all that mud off your radiator?
