Epic adventures







We began our epic adventure into the Bighorn mountains in a town called buffalo, Wyoming. In the morning, we rode 27 miles up 5,500 ft to the pass which was 9,666 ft high. The climb was grueling, but it was all made up for by this sign:


The downhill was absolutely exhilarating. It led into a giant canyon, where we found ourselves barreling down at 35mph for a good half hour. We're still trying to find someone to bring us back up to the top...

After the Bighorns, we slept in a wonderful little town called, Ten Sleep, which took a full stride to keep the 'western' feel with modern day log cabin buildings. Ten sleep was gateway to the high desert, which we all found to be absolutely stunning. We started the next day off with an accidental dirt road detour, which turned out to have some of the coolest colorings and features we've seen.



After two days in the desert, we made our way into the foothills of Yellowstone, where, as you can tell, I was thrilled to speak with the local weird-bearded weirdos:



We made our way into yellowstone, but we don't have any pictures because the camera was dead and we didn't take the time to get lee's pictures, but we will eventually. Yellowstone is a hell of a place. The first night we got in pretty late and froze our butts off in the cold freezing night. The second day, we did a small ride and saw some volcanic activity. We later went for at sunset hike and fought off some bears on the way down. We're bringing back some beautiful bear skin rugs for the family. the third and final day we went for a long ride around the park and relaxed in a hot spring for a long while. We couldn't really get comfortable in the hot spring though, our skin kept boiling for some odd reason? Fortunately, no animals gave us a hard time or stole our wallets, and was ironically the two legged creatures that gave us the hardest time... Adios, Lee, it was fun!





We surfed another couch in rexburg, Idaho last night. Those folks were wonderful! A big hanks to Ford and all his great roomies. We survived 45mph headwinds and a dust/ash storm today and now we safely lay in field under the stars, goodnight.
