Yellowstone (Wyoming part two)

Being a nerd about all things volcanic; I was very excited about getting to Yellowstone. I was not disappointed, the days riding around the Tetons and up through Yellowstones were the most beautiful days of the trip so far.

The traffic was an issue in some sections of the park with some close calls with passing RV's, but that never took away from the glorious views that bombarded me. 

Milege wise the days were short in Yellowstone, which allowed me plenty of time to explore. Since Lander I have been traveling with a group of ten which changed the pace and mood of the trip. Yellowstone was a holiday within a holiday.

Wyoming (part one)

I had no preconceptions for Wyoming. It's a big state with a small population, so small there is only one area code for the entire state. The first couple of days in Wyoming was stormy and windy. I found the wind in Wyoming more challanging than the wind in Kansas. The hills and rock formations channeled the wind and I seemed to be constantly cycling into a head wind.

All that said, the landscape was beautiful, with a wide variety of shapes and colours. The towns between the wide alien like landscapes offered up some of the warmest people I have met so far on the trip.
