Grand Teton National Park - Continued

Grand Teton National Park

Idaho didn't last very long, or so it seemed. But then, when your riding a motorcycle and the wind is in your face, the weather is beautiful, sunny and warm - time seems to have no meaning. We actually stopped at some point in Idaho and were talking about when we would like to get to Sturgis South Dakota. We wanted to get there in time for the motorcycle rally, no too early, and not too late. As we were planning our timing, I asked my brother-in-law what day it was, and with a dumfounded look, he replied "I don't know". I think that was the best part of the trip! The fact that neither of us knew what day it was, and even better - we didn't care!!

The sun did follow us for a little while, but the weather began to start turning as we rode closer to Yellowstone National Park. We crossed the Wyoming state line (home of Glacier National Park), and realized that it was going to get nasty. The temperature started dropping, the sun no longer visible as the clouds encroached the sun above us. Then it happened, it started drizzling.

A little drizzle is no big deal, and expected on a motorcycle journey such as ours. We donned the rainsuits and continued our trek. As we entered Yellowstone, though, the drizzle started turning into sleet. Both of us were wearing the 'beanie' style helmet, so had no face protection. Ouch!!, those little pesky sleet particle hurt the face!!

Luckily, the sleet didn't last very long and it started clearing a little bit as we approached the Visitors center near our campground. We stopped in at the center, parked the bikes and proceeded to make sure that none of our gear was too terribly wet before entering the store for a few campground supplies - namely food..
