Long haul!

Well, Brian and I drove pretty much nonstop to Idaho Saturday and Sunday. We were in the cars for about 28 hours total (we stopped for a couple hours' sleep twice).

Camera Dump!

Goodbye Ames!

Nebraska: Drive until your eyes bleed, rinse and repeat as necessary.

Bikes: "Are we there yet?"

Me: "Bikes can't talk. Leave me alone."

Me: "I didn't mean that. I'm really sorry, I'm just a little tired and grumpy. Will you forgive me?

Bikes: "We'll talk about this later."

Some people just weren't cut out for life on the road... :)

Hour 14: Welcome to Wyoming!

Sweet! Terrain features! I-80 goes from about 6000 feet in Cheyenne to over 8500 feet just east of Laramie. The truck was not happy climbing those hills. The combination of grade, altitude, extra weight, extra drag from the bikes, and the good ol' 105hp 2.4 liter 22re combined for several climbs at under 50 mph, getting passed by semi trucks going uphill.

Wyoming sunset, somewhere west of Laramie. Very few radio stations out here.

Yep, this is pretty much what the overnight felt like for me too.

Wasatch Mountains in Utah.

Woo Hoo!! We stopped at a rest stop near here, and Peyton wasn't quite sure what to make of the place. He walked around with his nose to the ground peeing on everything he could find.

Then he went back to sleep.

Going north on Highway 75, almost there!

And you'll have to wait for photos of the Big Wood River valley. I'll be posting again soon. Hope you all are doing well,

Eric
