Freezing start to the day with a stiff headwind. Called in a West Fork RV park and ate 2 lovely, huge cinnamon rolls accompanied by 3 coffees with sugar. Very pleasant speaking to Chuck and Barb (a Gordon who has visited Scotland with Chuck). Really needed the carbs and sugar, so wasn't embarrased having their last two pastries. Eventually did reach and call in at the Driftwaters RV Resort, which I'd never have reached the previous day, as it's so far south. Continued south through Madison Canyon Earthquake area and the headwind eased as I turned east. Stopped at Earthquake Lake, formed in the 1950s when an earthquake brought down a chunk of the hillside and blocked the Madison River.
Also saw my first sitting bald eagle.
It was then on by Hebden Lake and dam before turning south to West Yellowstone. Made the mistake of having tea at a McDonald's.
