I was forced to take an unplanned rest day in Dubois, Wyoming, when I realized I had picked up my third case of food poisoning. I spent August 1st alternately doubled over with abdominal cramps and sleeping restlessly. My fever broke sometime after midnight, and I decided I could ride today.
As I got closer to Grand Teton National Park, I was really hoping for a bear sighting, but no luck yet 😢.
I am staying at the Colton Bay campground, and I can see how crowded Yellowstone is going to be tomorrow, but I still expect to have fun.
Oh, I was so hopeful! But no bears 😢My first glimpse of the North Breccia Cliffs. From this distance, they looked like an immense fortress, like something from H. P. Lovecraft.More Breccia CliffsThis was really heartening, but, alas, it wasn’t accurate. It was mostly down, but not entirely, and only rarely 6% grade! 😁My first view of the Tetons. Now, I grew up in Colorado and New Mexico, but I think these are the most perfect mountains I’ve ever seen!At first, I thought Adrian was a tourist. When she got closer, I decided she was just out for the day. But she set me straight: She was riding from Whitefish, MT to Denver, CO, and is just smarter about packing than I am. She did the TransAm a couple years ago.So promising, but no bears!Grand TetonMount Moran
