And I still love the 1st stpry you shared about the poor Miata owner 
Funny note for today...
Had a Miata owner come up to me in Grand Teton Park and ask if we had towed the S from NY behind a motor home.
His Miata was at home. He and his wife were touring in a dually diesel.
Their 5th wheel was down at the campground. He looked jealous when I said we drove the whole way, top down!

Thanks for sharing the pics, yours were better than mine. Especially the wild life. I only got to see some elks. I am curious: How many S's did you see on your trip? Aside from the forty that were at S2K Days in Keystone, SD (Mount Rushmore) in 5150 miles of driving I only saw two. One in Glenwood Springs, CO and one in Missouri on the way home.
Those bugs out west are something. When I got home I took my S to a high pressure wand type car wash to get the collection off of the radiator. There was NO WAY that my garden hose was going to make a difference.
P.S. I like you vanity plate.

The Bugs were disgusting! I wasn't planning on washing the car during the trip, but ended up at a DIY pressure wash bay twice to get the bugs off the bumper. (Found a nice one in Montana with hot water that took a credit card, so I didn't have to deal with quarters.
) Still not sure how I am going to get them all out of the radiator. Not sure I want to hit it with high pressure.

Thanks for sharing your pics! I did my first long drive in the S after FC a couple years ago...from Pittsburgh to SW Montana and back. Mt Rushmore was one of my overnite stops en route.
This was a solo trip and no I need to talk my +1 into joining me to visit cousins in Bozeman MT area.
