I did about the opposite. I came into west Yellowstone about 230. Got into Cody about 930. I should have found a place in Cody to sleep but I didn’t like the town. It reminded me of the dells, a tourist trap! I pushed into Sheridan 2. More hours, mule and white tail deer in rut but not as spooky as white tail here. Drove thru switch backs of big horn national forest got to the pass and a shooter bull elk was in the middle of the road! Over heated my brakes outta the pass and ran Manual shift the rest of the way down.
funny thing is I talked to my dad about it and my parents did the same in a Vega in 74 in a snow storm he said my mom was so scared she was on the floor of the car, and once they got back on 90 they were dodging deer like pin ball
