we left Rapid City and headed west to the devils tower in wy. this was the very first US national park. on the way to the tower we stopped off at a little town that has this small country store with gas pumps in front. we were very low and had to put in regular 87 octane, thats all they had. thank god for octane booster. the total population of the town was 15....
we then stopped off in Gillette wy for lunch. It was a nice sunny day high of 94 while we were riding, UNTIL WE HIT THE BIG HORN NATIONAL FOREST.We saw a storm coming fast as we started to climb the mountain. After pulling over and putting our gear on it began raining half way up. the temperature gauge on my bike went down to 35 at the top. there was still snow in spots at the top. we had very high winds with the rain, talk about your extremes.
as we were coming down the other side the rain stopped and the views were unbelievable. we ran across a moose along the road. can't wait to show everyone the pictures of Big Horn Forest when we get back.
We got into Cody around 7:30pm. tomorrow we head for yellowstone to see yogi and old faithful.
enjoy the pics.
