Goodnight, David. Goodnight, Chet.

On Day Three, we slow down the pace, riding a leisurely 243 miles — about four and a half hours in the saddle. Again, we ride through three states — this time Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. We pass within about a mile of Yellowstone National Park, gas up near the park, and move on toward our overnight destination of Big Sky, Montana. We stay at a lodge named after one of my childhood news idols, Chet Huntley, yes — the guy paired with David Brinkley from 1956 to 1970 on NBC’s Huntley Brinkley Report. It always ended with “Goodnight, David. Goodnight, Chet.”

And now, today’s photos.

Walter poses in front of the Afton Mormon (LDS) Temple on our way out of town. He wasn’t able to go inside; you need a “temple recommend” for that, showing you are pure and worthy.
It was warm today. I took the opportunity to hydrate, just outside of West Yellowstone.
Clarence has his own form of nourishment.
Walter tries a cone at an ice cream shop earlier in the day in Idaho. The ice cream, made in nearby Idaho Falls, is called Farr’s. The syrup for the coffee flavor came from Guatemala!
Welcome, Randy. Fish tacos at Chet’s. Randy joins us from Seattle after two long days of solo riding.
