This is the 3rd time, if it doesn't work I'm done. Today was the day I was looking forward to climbing, and boy did we climb. One climb was to 6764' and the other to 8431'. The highest had a grade of 10% the last 4 miles, it was one of the hardest climbs I have ever done, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The views at the tops down into the valleys was absolutely breath taking. The United States is certainly a beautiful country. We are tired but it is a good tired.
During the ride we left ID and entered WY, so we are now in our 3rd state. Yesterday we took a small ride into Idaho Falls. Not much scenery on the way in, but we did see a pelican in the Snake River. It seems like we have been passing over it forever. Had a great hotel in Idaho Falls right across from a park that had some falls.
We have 3 more hard days before we reach Casper, WY for a day off. One of them is 120 mi. going into Casper.

Tommy, we really enjoy the vicarious view of America from the perspective of a bicycle! Keep the images coming and stay strong!

Tom, I am really enjoying your log of the trip. Alan and his group were in Jackson Hole and Yellowstone 1 day after you passed through. Mom, Barbara, and that crew are in Gillette. North of where you will be in a day or so. Continue to have a great ride. Bill
