Due to the construction on the road between the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks we decided to head south a day early. Day 11 became a travel day between Grand Teton NP an Evanston, WY.
As we left Jackson Lake Lodge it was a whole 45 degrees, we turned south toward the Grand Teton NP Loop spending a few minutes on the Jenny Lake Loop. Grand Teton NP is a very small National Park so it the whole ride through the park turned out to be fairly quick.
Shortly after we passed through Jackson, Wy we found ourselves riding through mostly High dessert plains. What I found interesting wsa that we never seemed to drop below 6000 ft. I suppose this is only interesting to someone that lives near sea level and sees 2500 feet as the potential snowline...hehehe.
We mostly saw cows, and a few pronghorn with a background of rugged moutians. We also saw a lot of snow drift fence along the road.
About 1/2 way to Evanston, Wy we stopped to get gas at Daniel Jct (the picture of the sign above the door is that gas station). Brad went in to buy a burrito and while paying lost the keys to his bike. I had an extra key for his bike but his single key fob would have been lost so we went looking. One of the counter girls helped too. After about a 1/2 an hour we finally found them right on the rug by the cash register (black on blak). Whew!
Finally back on the road we headed for an early arrival in Evanston. In fact I blogged the previous 2 days fron there but never did get to this day.
That evening we were set to meet a BWB motorcycle forum member named GeezerGlideWyo (bev and geezerglidewyo giving the BWB salute in the picture). We were pleased to have dinner and drinks with him, his wife and another riding friend. Seems everyone in the area mentioned the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway....so we sat down that night and added it to our route to Cedar City, Utah which was our next destination.
As usual I've uploaded more pictures to our web album at
