Another 2 deer sightings today.  Also a Ranger vehicle driving beside
a bison, not having much luck urging it off the road.  Not many bison
along my route yet.  Elk continue to  frequent the west entrance road.
The Rod Runners (street rods, hot rods, classic cars and special
interest vehicles) were cruising the park.  Their parade in WYS is
tomorrow. Between that and the Smoking Waters Mountain Man Rendezvous
that started today, I plan to lay low and get chores done.
