This morning after a long night in a tent listening for grizzlys I rode ove togwatee pass Wyoming. At 9700ft ish it is the second highest pass I will face on the route across the states. It is cold and very windy up there and heavy thunderstorms but now I am having a coffee on a lodge half way down the 25 mile downhill !

WiFi has been hard to find recently so I tried to keep blog update e mails on the phone and update all in one hit. Not sure of running order of posts is correct but its the best I cam do atm.
I think I look scarier than a grizzly beat anyway lol!

Lewis falls Yellowstone this morning

Hot springs in yellowstone

Views as I ride this morning

This morning started early riding through the mist over Yellowstone..my hands went numb with the cold...30 mind later I was overheating..such is the climate here.

Through the early morning mist I saw what I thought was a forest fire..but it was Yellowstone hot springs appearing!

The water is boiling and can be dangerous..a dog fell in I heard and got cooked. Some kid asked his mum...what happens to ducks when they land in the water?...mum replied..same thing as happed to the stupid dash..lol!

Hot mud bath anyone?

Geyser at Yellowstone park today

Amazing crystal blue water at boiling point direct from the centre of the earth ha!

Boiling spring water flows into the cold river in yellowstone

Old faithful in Yellowstone today

The ride through Yellowstone is worth the climbs!

Dad I sent you my used maps from here!

I crossed three passes each taking me across the continental divide. The climbs were ok even though each was at over 8000ft.

After todays ride in Yellowstone I found myself swimming in lake lewis..just me and my own spectacular swimming pool!
