I woke up to find the rear tire completely flat. I must have picked something up on my way to the motel. I got new tires and tubes at Al’s Outdoor; thanks to Jason Oberhansley and his team for getting it all fixed.

I made it to Tetonia. Just as I was entering Driggs, I saw Zane and his girlfriend Nicole on the side of the road. He said Dusty King was in Victor, about 8 miles down the road. I told him I didn’t have 8 miles in me and that I was done for the day. He kindly offered me his dad’s camper for the night, and we all went for Thai food.

The day turned out amazing for how it started. I just had to remember that it’s all going to be OK.

Sunset in Idaho, and the Tetons.
