That's a great story. That road north out of Dubois is a legit mountain highway. It was such a pretty drive that I didn't think to take a single picture the whole stretch from Moran to Dubois.

In 1990 I moved from Wichita Ks to Seattle, and on the drive there in mid-April IIRC I thought it would be cool to drive up through Yellowstone from the Denver area (my parent’s home). I was in my Porsche 944...
Don’t grind those welds down too far like I did. I made my metal so smooth that I didn’t need much body filler but the welds cracked in a few places after one year of driving.
