On Wednesday after our ride around Estes Park, CO, we drove to spend the night in Laramie, WY.  We had looked for a motel a little further down the road, but didn't find much... and we when drove through, we didn't see much either.  Southwest Wyoming is a lot like NM, mostly desert.  We took care of few things while in Laramie, like laundry, fixing a turn signal that was out, and cleaning up "Bianca" our road tandem.  It was pretty dirty after the Rocky Mt. National Park ride on dirt road, rain and hail.

We got in a nice ride in Laramie before hitting the road.




When we were driving from Rock Springs, WY to Pinedale we were looking for a roadside park to have lunch.  There isn't much along this 90 mile stretch of road and finally saw a sign for a picnic table along the road.  It turned out to be table next to a half dead tree and an old house that had fallen down. We stopped since we hadn't seen anything for miles.  We were pulling out our lunch when a local guy stopped and told us about a nice small park 2 miles up the road in Eden.  We packed back up and followed him to the park.  It was really nice of him to stop and give us some good advice.

After getting to our condo in Wilson near Jackson, we went to the grocery store to stock up for our visit.  On the way back to the condo, we had our first moose sighting.  We still on the look out for a male, but haven't seen one yet.

On Friday morning we set out on a 68 mile ride throught the Grand Teton National Park.  It was a nice ride with great views.  Not a lot of climbing on this ride, but plenty of wind.  Beth and I were pretty beat by the time we got back to the condo.  The landscape is really diverse from marshlands in the valley, with intermingled sections of sagebrush desert and lush pine forests.
