Now I saw, with awful clarity, that a large part of my life henceforth would be devoted to the daily grind of packing and unpacking this poor, dumb beast.
i guess for six weeks that it is better than some other daily grind i could be doing. i guess this daily grind is worth it when i have scenery like this to see when i wake up.
i left big timber, mt and headed up highway 89. i rode through varying terrain, from barren high plains to endless trees in the lewis and clark national forest. i was basically riding along the edge of the rocky mountain front, high peaks that seem to just rise out of the plains. as i got past browning, mt and closer to st. mary (near glacier national park), where i am staying, i rode through the remnants of a forest fire that happend less than a month ago. i could still smell the charred wood.
hopefully i can keep posting more photos in this manner. please let me know if they are too big, small, fuzzy, boring, etc. here is one that i am sure alex will enjoy.

Hi Pete,
The photos are great, thanks for sharing. I hope you're not zooming past this great scenery too quickly: it's ok to take more than one day in Yellowstone! Are you getting off the road to hike or maybe swim? I'm sure your mom would have some ideas on packing light. Just kidding, Carol!

Pete, thanks for the pictures. Keep them coming! It makes it easier for us to live vicariously through you. I love the stories about the people you meet along the way. Chance meetings are always so interesting! Safe travels! kdc
