Our longest ride from Shoshoni to just outside of Dubois. We stopped in Shoshoni to pick up some food to keep us going on the long ride ahead, sadly all they had was donuts which we used to motivate ourselfves every 0 on the mile marker signs.
Everything went well except for a 6 mile detour on a gravel road, due to some major flooding that closed off the main highway to Dubois. This was not a small feat considering we had to walk most of it uphill over the dam.
At a rest stop we ran into a couple of older guys touring and our mouths watered at the sight of their trail mix. It mostly consisted of m&ms and sweet goodness, while our trail mix was a much healthy, but less appetizing option of mostly nuts and seeds. We wished we hadn't skimped on chocolate just because it wasn't on sale. But fortunately, if you wish hard enough for something you are bound to find it. As we left the rest stop, we found two perfectly good, melted mini herseys chocolate bars lying on the side of the highway. When you are on the road long enough and hungry, just about anything tastes good, but nothing can quite compare to a bite sized morsel that's been cooking in the hot sun for an unknown span of time.
Yeah more updates! I've been checking up a few times a week, to see where your bikes take you next. Google maps says you've gone roughly 1,100 miles, That's crazy! Excited to see how far you both get, Good luck!
