Going home and also coming back we went through Yellowstone.
Cars were stopped around a group of bears. This bear ambled over to see if he could get a handout. We couldn't figure out what the white thing on his head was.
Yep, that's popcorn on his head. One passenger in the car rolled down the window just barely and poked through a bit of bread and yelled. He thought the bear almost had his hand. The bear really did want a handout.
One doesn't see bears in Yellowstone anymore. Look at those classic cars.

This bear had two cubs. I got too close to a cub and the mother bear charged me. I backpedaled and just when I thought I was going to be bitten, she turned and saw the other twin cub was too close to someone else, and she charged in that direction. I had a couple of much closer calls with bears in the Kootenai Forest.
More Yellowstone.
It was pretty chilly with Yellowstone's high altitude.

Traveling south, we passed by the Grand Tetons in late evening.
After driving all night, we stopped in Dodge City at "Boothill". I was looking for the real Boothill Cemetery, but this was just a tourist trap. I rested for a few moments in the "cemetery".
The Dodge City "barman" pours a strong Dr. Pepper.
