Alaska: Day 2 (6 June 09)

Another 600 mile day. We're safely ensconced in Jackson, Wyoming, after a rough day fighting the wind (the left sides of our tires got a workout!) and dodging (unsuccessfully) the rain. The good news is that we're right on schedule, even though we made a liesurely departure from Danny's sister's house (with eggs and sausage for breakfast, we were in no hurry to leave).

The last run into Jackson on Highway 191 along the Hoback and Snake Rivers was a sweet as I remember it from my last trip through here (check out the "Rocky Mountain Tour" ride report on my website), even though we were being rained on.

Danny's already complaining about the long days in the saddle, but he's prepared for it. Here he is with his Monkey Butt Powder.

Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and lots of fun miles tomorrow. Of course, they're predicting snow to the north of us ... we'll see how it goes.
