The only sobering problem is the rebuilding of a bridge on our original planned route tomorrow making us take an alternative route adding 50km to the already long 135km ride. That’s life. We are rested and ready.
Two days of R&R because we are in Yellowstone and we have ridden just on 2,000km and climbed 15,000m over the past 3 weeks. We think we deserved the rest and we couldn’t resist being tourists in this world famous park. Sitting on top of the largest molten lava lake in the world with amazing geysers, steam blow holes, boiling mud pads, bears, bison, wolves .. what a great way to spend a couple of days off. The only danger we faced was being killed on the road by our less than attentive tour guide. Shirl’s knuckles are still white. The only sobering problem is the rebuilding of a bridge on our original planned route tomorrow making us take an alternative route adding 50km to the already long 135km ride. That’s life. We are rested and ready.

Great photos and a well earned rest. Pity about the bridge, just another door opening to new adventures. Was that a real bison or Howie needing a shave? What a terrific trip Mal. Enjoy. Go Wheelchairs for Kids.
