We “ice skated” to breakfast because the road way was solid ice. Thankfully we didn’t fall down. At 8:00 we got on the road to Banack, another “ghost” town. I was driving. The roads were pure ice as we drove toward West Yellowstone. It took 2 1/2 hours to get out of the park. It had snowed last night so everything was absolutely beautiful.
We went through Ennis and stopped at a thrift shop.
We didn’t make it to Banack until 3 p.m. It was going to be a 4 hour drive back to Mammoth so we didn’t have as much time to explore as we would have liked. We left at 4:30.
Once again the weather was so strange. We drove through snow, sunshine, rain and hail.
Outside of YS we saw the 100’s of elk for the second time in two days.
