Day 64: Don't Call It A Comeback

And just like that, we hit Colorado and the blog went silent.

Well.

We've found that there is an inverse correlation between how much fun we are having and how much we want to blog. Sorry not sorry. I'll give you some highlights:

Colorado

• Extremely rude drivers
• Beautiful and very tall mountains (7,000-14,000 feet)
• Breckenridge was a huge disappointment; hoity-toity, overpriced, and full of snooty tourists
• Except we did get to meet a really cool dude named Ike and his friends. He showed us the sled dog kennel where he works and we got to interact with the 150 huskies there. 
• Hoosier Pass (~12,000 feet) was ezpz. 
• Marijuana is legal and the locals are pretty generous...

Wyoming

Ze Tetons

Bull Lake

• Beautiful country, easy climbs, and gratifying descents
• Sparsely populated, though everyone there is super friendly
• We stayed two nights in the Lander city park where they allow you to camp for up to three days for free
• Dylan and I took a detour to Bull Lake in the Wind River Indian Plantation. It was huge and awesome.
• Wide roads with big shoulders
• Lots of wildlife
• A rare cold front hit, bringing temperatures down to the 30's at night
• Once we got to Yellowstone, it stopped being fun because tourists are awful and are crawling all over there. No shoulders on the road and shit loads of big ass trucks pulling huge ass camper trailers.
• But we did get to stay with a girl we met named Kate who works for the park. She let us stay in her trailer to avoid having to sleep outside in 30 degrees. 

Montana

We found a dead bat

• Very much like Wyoming, except with more mountains, more streams, more hot springs, more wildlife, and just more of everything that we've been excited for on this trip. 
• This is the first state that I've found myself wanting to come back to visit.

Mean muggin' in Montana

We have just over 1,000 miles left to go. It's strange how close to the end that feels. We will be in Missoula tomorrow and we're pumped to take a couple days off there. Yeah buddy!
