Model T era - YPC buses at Ashton Hotel

If you drove a Model T Ford in and around Yellowstone Park after 1917 you certainly would encounter the Yellow colored White Buses. If you heard the loud shriek from an exhaust whistle from around a corner you had better pull over and give them room.

I'm guessing these are among the 120 Model 15-45s ordered between 1920 and 1924 like mine. I was lucky to have talked to some of the bus drivers from those days and they had great old stories. Besides carrying tourists in the park they also hauled them to and from train stations and drop off points.
I couldn't find any trace of the Ashton Hotel on a quick search of the net.
When did I do that?
