Out of steamboat springs and headed for Rawlins ,a washed it Rd had me back track for a while and then into some great forestry rds and into Wyoming with no drama . Fueled the body and bike at Rawlins Then into the red desert andgreat divide basins This brought back memories if the Simpson desert except the dunes where a lot smaller and the highest plant life was no higher than 60 cm Some of it was a challenge but all of it was great to be part of .
In some parts of this waste land oil was still being extracted and rusty nodding horses could be seen still operating and not a sole around
Because of the effort to get through this part of the route I was running late and had no chance to make pinedale but thankfully I came upon a small flowing river with a lovely spot to make camp for the night
Made pinedale for a late breakfast and headed for Grand Teton national park and Colter bay via some neat forestry rds and Union pass
It’s a pity the fires in California so far away has clouded these magnificent mountains in this park and my photos would not do them justice and in sure you can find images of them
The camp ground I’m in has these
on ever site and do you know that only 77 people have been killed by bears in the last 118 years in USA and Alaska You have 7 times more chance to be killed by lightning Maybe everyone should carry a lightning rod ,but I will be putting my food in the box
