81 days

That's how many days it has been since I  began this monstrosity of a life endeavor. The end game, no clue. Something fun, something I will not vision as an obligation to a company, but as a gift worth giving from me to the world. 

Back to the subject. Here's some stats needing to be logged since riding again as of July 30th:

Here's a couple of my favorite pictures during these days:

 Bridger-Teton Mountain Range

 Enough said! (Located between Moran &  Dubois)

I felt great after seeing this road sign.

 Couldn't resist photographing this. 

Sweet!! Only 42 miles including the pass and I'm done for the day!

Had to lighten the load of change I had accumulated, do I purchased a PBR and left a tip at the only food establishment I found in Cameron, Mt in order to fill up my water bottles to last me 40 or so miles until the next stop. This night I camped about 1/2 way between there and the HWY 87-HWY 287 junction. Oh yeah, I had steak for the first time since before I left flagstaff in May, thanks to a really nice person who had cooked too much food for her family camping a couple spots over from me. I wolfed it down in seconds flat. Thank you!

The Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. It reminded me of AZ, especially when I lived in and cycled around Phoenix. 

It was so hot this day and so riding through the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, I was super excited to get to the southern entrance to the reservation. There was road construction involving re-oiling and tarring the roads for 8 or so miles, so when I got here, the roads were a lot better and I had kicked and peeled off nearly all the tar and gravel that was stuck to my tires, frame, brakes, and shoes. At this point it also meant I had only 10 miles to go to fill up on water. Woohoo!!
