Day 3: Where the Buffalo Roam

Jackson, WY to Cody, WY: 1 state, 287 miles, 11 hours on the road, 6.5 in the saddle.

We started the day by riding through the Tetons. It was beautiful and only the beginning! We rode all around Yellowstone. Stopped to see geysers, Old Faithful blow, lots of bison (one even wandering down the road ahead of us), a bald eagle, and a bear. Fabulous! Seeing all these things from the seat of a motorcycle is such an undescribable view.

I made it over another pass and even 2 miles of gravel road (another first). Laura and I still tend to fall back from the rest of the group and our patient husbands stick with us (thanks guys, we appreciate it). Not only do I prefer to slow down a few extra MPH, it also allows me time to take in the beautiful scenery.

Another safe, beautiful day!

A new member joined our group yesterday; her name is Yewnice. She's really more of a mascot and has already brought the group many laughs and memories.

Tomorrow we're off to Rapid City.
