July 6 - Day 10 - 512 Miles Big Timber, MT to Provo, UT
Big Timber, MT to Provo, UT
Took Hwy291 South at Bozeman heading down to I-15 at Idaho Falls. Heading to Bobby J's house to drop my bike off and catch a plane.
This is a really great ride up through the Gallatin Valley adjacent, and partly into, Yellowstone. Obviously, couldn't enjoy it much with all that going on with my mother's health. Hope to make this ride one day with less on my mind.
The rain gear came on and off three times during the trip, the last time as I was coming into Salt Lake City. My weather luck is holding out: at the Point of the Mountain (point between the Salt Lake and Utah valleys) I got weather one can only get there. First you could see the clouds of brownish haze below and adjacent to the darkened outlines of rain falling. Yep, dust and rain. Only in Utah. And what makes this possible? Wind. I managed over about 20 miles to hit gusts that were at least 50 mph with the sand and rain stinging equally. When you're having good luck it just kinds of goes on, doesn't it.
In any event, I made it to Bob's house during the light show and spent the night. I booked a flight to Houston and arrived there this evening. Heading to Florida tomorrow.
