August 13th
Sleep in till eight and got loaded up and ready to go by about 9:30 and discovered that my back tire was flat. Slightly frustrated we took the wheel off and decided to let the Yamaha dealer next door do the hard work when we learned they had opened up. Hit the road by 11 and headed into the rolling high country of Wyoming. The sand/gravel roads afforded fast running. We saw a least 100 antelope through this section of the ride. Several of which were very nice buck. We made it up to Pinedale, WY and guess what I got. Another flat in the rear tire. The hole in the tube was at the same spot as the last one which made us suspicious of a piece of metal in the tire which was rubbing holes in the tube. Turns out we were right as we found a small piece of wire in the tire. Patched the tube and put it all back together and it was 7 pm already. Headed into the mountains to find some National Forrest ground for some free camping and called it a day at around dark.
