This time of year is a smorgasbord of weather and not for the fair weather rider.
On my way through a few days before this picture was taken I was running my trike through a snow storm with an inch of wet snow on the roads. (Togowotee pass- pronounced toe-got-tee ) (Shoshone word)This type of weather is very common in Wyoming and most folks would be well advised to wait till about the last week of June or into July to run the high country anywhere in Wyoming unless your into polar bear runs as I obviously am just for the unique beauty, bring clothing for all weather conditions.
In the lower elevations it is not impossible to encounter wind speeds greater than the ambient temperature, I got caught in that situation more than once on this trip making travel over 35 miles per hr. a dangerous proposition. Talk about exhausting. I hear news reports of high, dangerous winds in the eastern part of the nation and we really do shrug our shoulders and wonder what the fuss is about? I didn't say I liked it!
CROSSING THE CONTINENTAL DEVIDE AT 9500ft. Outside Dubois, Wyoming
YOGOWOTEE PASS
TOGOWOTTE PASS ON THE CONTINTAL DEVIDE,IN WYOMING.
Outside Ten Sleep, WY.
I put around 1400 miles on my trike last week, I dipped down into S.E. Idaho and headed north to the lost river valley. Took some pictures in the Arco dessert. (wind gusts to 65 MPH that day) Perhaps I will post a few of extinct Volcanoes and the big lost river when I get time.
