Wyoming has Mountains!

There is snow on the Mountains only 50 miles to my West. We caught our first glimpse riding into Shishoni on a 100 mile day. The landscape has started to become more 'featured' ever since we hit Nebraska and Wyoming, but there has been little in the way of actual mountains. It was nice to crest a hill and see the real thing with snow on top. It was also pretty nice to know that I climbed those mountains on NOLS only two years ago.We are heading over the Continental Divide tomorrow, into Jackson the next day, and over the Rockies the day after. I am obviously very excited.

Visiting Lander today was also a little surreal. The last time I was here, I was preparing for my NOLS course in the Wind River Mountains, and it was kind of cool to come back for another adventure. I visited the Gulch and the hostel and bought some of the bulk food. One of the riders even found my picture posted on the Honor Wall, which was pretty cool.

If you're interested in the day-to-day definitely check out the route tracker on the Bike & Build website where at least two of the riders update our progress daily. I also just uploaded about 130 pictures or so from between Ohio to Iowa/South Dakota today so check it out.
