Forget all the whining I did about camping. I camped last night in the Shoshone NF and I wouldn't have traded it for even a night at the Ritz. Waking up to spectacular scenery and the cool fresh mountain air was bliss and made any hassle worth it. I fixed a cup of coffee and slowly broke camp, it was like a meditation as I put things away, packing them carefully onto the motorcycle. I felt good.
Leaving Casper it was REALLY windy, Wyoming windy. I remembered the feeling of the wind and the quality of the air from living in Cheyenne Wyoming for 4 years when I was in the Air Force. The wind was so strong I had to counter steer in order to continue straight down the highway.

ReplyDeleteGreat pictures and update. Sure beats waking up in DC and dealing with traffic.
ReplyDeleteI guess part of the draw of motorcycle camping is the time it takes to set up and break down the equipment - gives you time slow down, decompress, and "smell the coffee". Great pix.
