Great thread! I've commented on a few of yours previously, but Yellowstone and its surroundings and driving the Beartooth was one of my best road trips ever... sadly back in 2012. I need to get back there pronto!
Thanks, man - you can't go wrong with NW Wyoming and that little slice of southern Montana right there.

Glad you enjoyed it.

And, yup. BMW nailed it with the 8er. I might get one more near the end of production and make it a forever car. There is not one other BMW I am even remotely interested in. That never used to be the case.

Oh, yeah. You, sir, are correct.

Been up and down Hwy 12 many a time. I first did it in the '90s and just remembered for years as it being one of the best roads around. Just you, the road, the trees and the river - for 100 miles. No traffic.

Haha yeah I should have but the cog rail looked really interesting.. At the time I also didn't know that it was a big deal to drive up there, so it'll be on the bucket list for next time.
