Gillette Wyoming

Today (Sunday, 7/24) was a travel day with no specific stops planned except our end destination of Gillette WY.   As we rode we witnessed some of the affects of their recent flooding.  The Shoshone and Big Horn Rivers are still raging and numerous roads are under repair.

Our route took us up into the Wyoming High Country and Big Horn National Forest.  At times we were even with the remaining snow lines with altitudes as high as 9,800 feet. Route 14 East and West provided us with breathtaking views and awesome switchbacks.

Our next stop is Rapid City, South Dakota which will be our home base for the remainder of the trip.

See you there.
