Mountain Home, ID to Jackson, WY: 2 states, 480 miles, 9.5 hours on the road, 8.5 in the saddle.
Another great day seeing the beautiful country in Idaho. We started out early again, about 6:30. Weather was cold (I wore my heated gear). Our group split into two groups and we stayed in the back so we could go a bit slower. About 60 miles into the trip we turned where the rest of the group had gone straight several minutes ahead of us. By the time we realized it, however, we were too far north to turn back. Gas was an issue -- Don was in our group :) -- and north was the decision.
The detour added a little over 200 miles but it was totally worth it. We saw more of God's beautiful country that quite possibly we would never have seen. Sometimes unplanned is the best planned.
Laura played leader for a while and did an awesome job. I made it down two mountain passes without losing my cookies. It was a great ride.
My angels guided us all safely once again and brought us back to the rest of the group in time to shower and meet them for dinner.
Tomorrow is Yellowstone and on to Cody.
