Yancey Of the many tourists who have exhausted the wonderful scenes of the National Park, but few could be found who have not taken an outing at the rustic wayside inn of J. F. Yancey, situated about midway between the Mammoth Hot Springs and Cooke City, and affording the only stopping place for travelers going this distance. His ranch is situated in the paradise for fishing and hunting, while the fact that Mr. Yancey has lived continuously in this place since 1883 makes him, alone, a man of great understanding and prominent importance throughout the National Park and upper Yellowstone region, as well as a name that is repeated in almost every locality in Europe and America. Owing to his popular locality Mr. Yancey has become quite wealthy by waiting on the public, but as age and a continuous life in a high altitude has become a burden to him he is now ready to dispose of his interests there to any person or persons desiring such a life of continual pleasure.
