W. Yellowstone to Ashton, ID 57 miles.
It's funny to hear people (& myself) asking what day or date it is. Our
days are so full of riding & not much else.
It was another blissfully pretty day today, & shortly after we left we
reented Idaho at the continental divide (7100') & saw the Tetons rising
in the distance. We went thru Targhee on some of the flatest,
straightest roads I've been on, & passed one spectacular waterfall on
the way, too.
Ashton itself holds not much more than the distinction of claiming to be
the largest exporter of seed potatoes. It does have one of the nicer
school facilities that we've been in, and serves as the staging stop for
our attack on the Teton pass tomorrow – 70 miles, climbing to 8431'
It's going to be a tough day, but I felt really good w/o BOB today & am
looking forward to my first rarified air ride. G'nite!
