SNOW!!!

The last four days I spent driving across North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming. Each state more beautiful than the one before! I do love the wide open spaces out here. And I found "where the buffalo roam".


Big guy, isn't he?

And I found out there's still snow in them there hills




I drove through a blizzard in the Bighorn Mtns! And now I know there'll be snow in the passes of the Rockies. Hmmm? I've always wanted to try my hand at winter camping. Guess thus will be it. But I have to tell you that when I came through the Wind River Canyon and saw the Rockies out beyond, it took my breath away thinking about biking up through there all by myself. Thus is going to be my most courageous adventure yet. No guidebook for this one. And tonight my brother was telling me that the grizzlies are awaking 6 weeks later than usual and are extra hungry. Great! Wish I had a bear canister. Left it home 'cause I didn't think I'd need it. Deep melting snow. Having to hang a bear bag. Lugging my bike off the road into the snow to camp. Hmmm? Sure hope I figure all this out as I bike west.

Meanwhile I have a wonderful couple of days here at my brother's house and getting to meet my niece's kids and getting more info before I head out Friday. Weather looks like it should cooperate and I'll only have to contend with snow on the ground.

If anyone has any experience with camping in these conditions off the side of the road in the mountains in spring snow, I'm all ears!

I live for adventures like this! Bring it on!!!

Pedal on, BagLady
