Wednesday. West Yellowstone to ennis, Montana-72 miles. Rode out of camp a little after 7:00am in heavy fog and the temperature hovering below 40. There was so much moisture in the air that I had water dripping from my eyebrows. At least there were no clouds so after 2 hours the fog burned off and the temperature rose to a very comfortable level. The whole day was spent riding down the Madison river valley which we had actually picked up near old faithful a couple of days ago. At 20 miles in we stopped at a café attached to a camping/fishing area right next to the river. There special was blackberry pancakes, actually blackberry pancake because it was about 10 inches in diameter. Delicious. Powered me all day. Another short distance down the road brought us to earthquake lake. In 1959 an earthquake brought the mountain down blocking the river causing many fatalities. I’ve documented below. The rest of the ride was just beautiful riding along the river with mountains on both sides. This is a big time fishing area. I spent much of the day visualizing our friend tom stiffler in his waders casting and reeling, casting and reeling. One fisherman that I spoke to claimed he caught 40 fish the other day, rainbows and brownie I think he said. All in all a terrific day on the road. All pictures posted today are from today’s ride. I couldn’t help myself.
