I have gotten home and finally unpacked after two back to back off-road adventures. My home survived Tropical Storm Hillary while I was gone with with only a medium sized tree limb blown down. My report is kind of late but here it is.
This first photo is of a mostly barren area with some unusual rock formations near the Southern Montana and Crow reservation border. This is kind of the informal start of our trip.
The next photo is of a group of cowboys and cowgirls(?) out in the middle of nowhere. There were at least two real cowboys but I don't know about the rest of them. I don't know what they where doing there. I didn't have time to chat with them. I just asked if they minded if I took a photo of them and once I go the nod, I clicked and headed out.
This next one is of one of the many beautiful views of the Wyoming country,
This is a view of some typical parts of the Wyoming BDR. It was by no means all this easy. We passed through some very difficult areas also. I can't imagine riding an adventure bike though some of those bad areas.
This is what I woke up to the morning of our official day of the start of our trip. This deer was grazing in the middle of our campground and had no fear of anybody being there.
This photo is one of our slightly rough areas. I was wondering why everybody was circling over to the left, but realized why when I got to what looked like a small ditch that we needed to cross. That small ditch was a deep washout that was kind of narrow. My front valence rubbed some when I dropped into it and at the rear the receiver hit hard enough when I climbed out that it pulled out the cap I had on it. I stopped to check and popped the cap back in and moved on to catch up with the group.
This is a photo of a view from a pullout on the trail. It was a steep drop of about 2,000 ft into a valley with a river running through it. I know the picture doesn't do it justice as to the feeling you get when being there.
This is a photo of a stream from a small wooden bridge we crossed. It looked so peaceful with a Zen look to it and I could not resist enjoying it for a while.
This is a photo of our fearless leader. He got high centered and stuck when his vehicle slipped from straddling the deep ruts to being in them. Our remaining Jeep had to rescue the Toyota.
We did see a lot of wild flowers and I always must show at least one shot of them. I think these are wild esters.
I have a few more photos to show and will come back for another set.
