Chateau d If:
This shot looks like about 8 pm. So it would then be 2 hour’s drive from Old Faithful.
From NPS at Yellowstone: “The maximum speed limit is 45 mph (73 km per hour) unless posted otherwise.”
From Old Faithful to the entrance is 39 miles. So that‘s 50 min to the South Entrance.
So the ranch would be about 70 miles From there. That is arrived at by the path on the GE image at the bottom.

Wow Chateau your really good
this is what Pandora posted after the show
This makes perfect sense because in order to go from Old Faithful to Absarokee, they would have to have taken the round about way because of the Beartooth Highway closure. I couldn't believe they could show all the teams going from Old Faithful to the pit stop in Montana in the last ten minutes of the show.
Good observations on the tents Sups |#'
I'm still working on the stupid Golf Course ..if only there was one little thing that would make it stand out from all the rest :madC:
Chateau d If:
This is a close up of the area. Well, it's as close as Google Earth gets here.

If the teams continue south on Route 287 70 miles to find the ranch with Phil with the raised left eyebrow they would be in the Dubois area. So if they then are given instructions to continue on as the sun sets in the west, they may not backtrack along route 287 and route 16 to Cody, WY and then up to the Northern Cheyenne or Crow Indian Reservations in Montana but may continue a few more miles south to the WIND RIVER INDIAN RESERVATION. The headquarters for this reservation is at Fort Washakie a famous Eastern Shoshone chief (with a statue in the Capitol's Statuary Hall in Washington DC). This reservation is home of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapahoe indian tribes. Both are plains indians and have teepee villages in the reservation. This area also was on the Famous Oregon Trail. Covered wagon tours are available in the reservation. Also there are golf courses in the area. Note:

So they could do the DETOUR and ROADBLOCK in this area then travel north about 195 miles to Cody, WY to find Buffalo Bill's Bar for the dress up and picture taking (Kodak Digital camera plug, plug). Then on up about 135 miles to Billings, MT for the pit stop.

Minor correction, G'Man. It's Wind River, not White River. I've been there to see Sacajawea's grave.
The area around there looks nothing like the golf course terrain. The types of and limited number of trees in the vidcaps look similar to what can be found around a golf course in Cody http://www.oliveglenngolf.com/ Unfortunately, I can't find a match.
