>I guess I don't do the tongue-in-cheek thing very well. The Beartooths are one of my favorite spots. We try to backpack there at least once a year. The Glacier/Bob Marshall region is also spectacular. Then there is Yellowstone another favorite spot, especially off-season.

I understood you well enough ;-) I was introduced to the highway in Cody by a father/son team on their way there. Saved me the grief of running Winnebago Alley into Yellowstone, for which I am forever grateful. I was attempting to do US 20 coast to coast, but I missed a few spots due to diversions like that. Love those old US highways.
