Our last day in West Yellowstone. After the marathon road trip of yesterday we decided to kick off out last day in West Yellowstone biking and shopping around West Yellowstone. We all got moving at the crack of...... 11am. We pedaled into the main shopping area and hit a couple few shops then settled in for some good Montana pizza.
Then we took in the IMAX show on Yellowstone, it was very good. We wandered around a little more and stopped at
for some ice cream, I had Huckleberry! Then we went back to the trailers so the women could get the truck and go back for some major shopping. When they returned hours later we got together at the Casa Selvaggio for some of chef big-boy-r-dees pasta followed by a few games of Pegs&Jokers. Got up early Friday morning and headed for home planning 2 long days and an early arrival Sunday. Started off going through the park with a little Buffalo jam delay, there were 12 or so wandering down the roadway . Then we got into a Bear jam, we worked our way through the cars...we have already seen 4 or 5 bears, He He. Got to the Colter Bay area of the Grand Tetons and decided to eat lunch since towns were sparse after that. Somewhere along the line we saw another Moose. Filled up with gas and after taking off, the 'service engine soon' light came on. I opted to ignore it and CB quietly worried, it went off 2 fill ups later. Savagely attacked by swarms of mosquitos at a gas station near Laramie WY. Stopped for the night in Laramie at the KOA/mobile home park right on the highway. Road noise bad. Took off the next am, after lunch I took over driving and noticed that, according to my new tire monitor system, my right rear trailer tire was low. After watching it a while and seeing it get lower I exited the interstate looking for a service station. Went to Overton NE, the gas station didnt have a mechanic. Getting ready to crawl under and get the spare out a guy came out of the station and said that there was a tire repair place in the next town and he would call them for me. He did and said that they were on a call but if we got up there they would look at our tire when they got back. So, we aired up the tire and headed SLOWLY the 12 miles to Elm Creek. When the tire guy arrived he took off the tire and didnt find a leak so I put the sensor on and had him squirt it with his soapy water. When he did that some ran on the wheel and it started bubbling. Yep, the old recall on the steel wheels faulty welds struck again. He put the spare on and we were on our way. Only got as far as Lincoln NE that day. After setting up for the night we decided to have a drink and CB pulled out the ice cube bin and water sloshed all over. The freezer was now a thawer and most stuff had to be thrown away. Dont know what happened but assume the door must not have closed properly because its working today. We had a STIFF deink and went to bed. NOTHING happened today except we are sweltering in the heat & humidity.
