Doo-boys

Hey hey! I'm posting from a library in Dubois, Wyoming, a hideous tourist trap if anyone ever saw one. My father and I are staying in a hotel tonight. We need to dry out our tents and such. The place offers weekly rates and I feel happier there than at the NO VACANCY place next door with all the ring-wing stickers on the fridge in the office. Our room smells like smoke, but I don't ask for much for $45.

Today was the first day that we actually rode through mountains. "I deserve this!" I screamed into my helmet, having ridden 2300 miles so far and being glad to finally see what I came for. Mike, I would feel bad for you not being here, but you will be here soon enough.

What is left to be desired is the weather. It's cold and rainy and probably will be until we're in eastern Oregon. My father is dead set on seeing Yellowstone, though, so we'll probably motor through there tomorrow.

Also, they take their road construction seriously here in Wyoming. We spent a long, nervous time today riding over packed mud that used to be a road before folks in orange vests tore it right up off the ground. Good grief.

So I hope you guys are all having fun. Keep it real and maybe I'll see you when we come on back through.
