Holy Sweet Jesus! Blue skies today so we made a break from Old Faithful where we've been snowed in for the last 2 days (18" snow) and headed 100 miles out into the plains of Montana.
In the area around Old Faithful there are 6 Grizzly's kicking around, so close to the buildings that the rangers have been shooting them with rubber bullets...
Riding out early our eyes were scanning every where for these fuckers. Herds of grumpy buffalo also pose a similar problem, as do Wolves which crossed our path a few metres ahead. This place is fucking insane.
Snow looks like its behind us for now - forecast for the end of the week in Missoula is +30 centrigrade!!!!! FACK!

Missfuckingoula! Been riding for 5 days now and just got to missoula in montana
its been up to 35 deg C today, slightly higher than when we were in Yellowstone...
Anyone know anywhere good to go here? We got a couple of days off to let our legs recover, and to damage our livers as much as possible...

Now in Portland Oregon with the biggest hangover of the whole trip. Chef's playing Seattle tonight but I doubt I'll be leaving the bathroom the way I'm feeling. Every rest day seems to have been spent nursing a massive qwonting hangover damn it!
One day from the Pacific and the end of the trip!
