Near the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
Participants
Expedition
I started the day in Idaho Falls, scanning the hashpoints for inspiration, and the hashpoints said "GO NORTH!!!"
After a little knocking around in Northeastern Idaho, I crossed into Montana and then in the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. This required an entrance fee (Figure 1). The woman at the entrance booth had a long speech that she must give a thousand times a day about how my receipt would allow re-entrance for a week, yadda yadda yadda, and made to hand me a thick stack of park publications. "I don't really need any materials," I said. "I'm only going in for an hour or so." She pulled them back with an air of thinking that this was REALLY WEIRD and probably wrong, but not worth arguing over.
Now, the hashpoint was on the north bank of the Madison River, and I knew that near the entrance the Madison has a gently sloping, lightly forested bank (Figure 2).
