Some Familiar Faces.

Today was day to meet up with a few other friends from Lawrenceburg. Tom Schaller led a group consisting of Ken Wilson, Scott King, Steve Zerkle, and Barry Hansel out to Pinedale, Wyoming. But first, since we were in Butte, we had to visit Evel Kneivel. Or, at least his gravesite. I had put the coordinates I had found on the Internet into the GPS, which actually took us to a shopping center. I am so glad I brought that thing on this trip. It has been invaluable. I went in a store and asked for directions, and finally found the cemetary. A few laps around the place, and that little jaunt came to a successful end.


From there, it was onto Pinedale as quickly as we could. We jumped on I-15 and headed south until we hit US-26. This section of the ride took us through ranchland and grazing grounds until we ran up against the Palisades Mountains. Here, we followed the Snake River to the Palisades Resevior. We acsended the Snake River range and picked up US-191 down into Pinedale. Tom and Scott had already secured a campsite for us at the Pinedale Campground, while the others holed up at the Pinedale Lodge. It was pretty much and uneventful ride, but still much more scenic than the roads back home.
