| We headed out early Tuesday, July 8th. After a minor delay in Fort Collins to repair sunglasses, we finally encounter open road. This is Highway 287, between Fort Collins and Laramie. | |
| Much of western Wyoming is high desert, but even sagebrush ain't bad when the sky is that blue. | |
| But as these flags prove, there is a reason the signs say: "Welcome to Wyndoming". | |
| By the time we made it this rest stop between Muddy Gap and Lander, we had fought high winds for hours. But as the shadows were getting longer, it was just a quick breather and back on the road. By sundown, Lander was a welcome sight. | |
| Day 2: While checking the bikes over, I realized that I should have installed the rivets that came with Debi's Screaming Eagle Mufflers. I guess we were lucky they didn't fall off. Thanks to the friendly folks at a tire store and the local hardware store I managed to get a hole drilled and borrow a rivet gun. The bike was ready to go before Debi!! | |
| A few miles west of Lander, the scenery began to improve. And the early morning calm was a huge improvement over the winds of day 1. | |
