Day 2 - (July 7th)

The Tetons near Jackson, WY

Cool clouds, it was a bit cold 48f.

Living the dream!

The Tetons

FJR and Ducati

Nice and "warm"!

Lots of traffic, in fact I will avoid most of Yellowstone if I were to ride that way again.

Yellowstone, every once in a while we could run free.

Ahhhhhhh, the open road........ loving it, even if it's a bit cold. (Is that fresh snow on the tops of those mountains? :blink: )

Nearing Mammoth, Wy in Yellowstone

East on 212 towards Cooke City.

East on 212 towards Cooke City, can't get better than this.

More east on 212.

Nice road, less traffic, easy passing east on 212.

Nice clouds.

Closer to Cooke City

We are heading to the dark area right under those clouds.

Hit it!

Just outside of Cooke City, awesome trees.

Where is everybody? We had the entire place to ourselves.

Taking a break, Cooke City, MT

Heading out, East of Cooke City, what a great road, and nobody around.

Weather looking a bit iffy, but we press on!

Mad Max!

Thumbs UP! I guess that means keep going!

What is that white stuff? How come it's so cold?

Yep, that is fresh snow.

Stay tuned, more coming tomorrow, I've got to get back to work.

That is living the dream, that is why we have the bikes. Something special about hitting the road with a buddy or two. Great pics.

Great pictures...I love seeing other's pictures of where I've been. It reminds me of good times...it also shows me those places in a different light with different weather conditions. Thanks for sharing. :clapping:

 

[SkooterG]

Ouststanding! Great pics.

Questions:

What kind of camera are you using? And do you do any photo editing to enrich the colors?

 

[donaldb]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please tell what camera you are using!!!!

Thanx

Incredible pictures and scenery! Gives others something to dream about riding someday!

Great pictures! When I ran Beartooth a couple years ago it was dark after I went over the top. I didn't see a lot of the descent. Nice to know what I was missing.

I did go over Beartooth in a cage in May, 1992 on my (First) honeymoon. It was blizzard conditions at the top and I didn't see much then either.

Nice GEN II bikes. GEN I's are so old they'd probably break down trying to do that route.

Man oh man, JP that is some awesome footage. I was feeling bad 'cause I thought I missed your Bear Lake adventure when I rode back to Ohio to visit my Mom and Sister. I now see that you've rescheduled. Let me see if I can shuffle a few things and perhaps join you for at least part of that ride.

You my friend know what it's all about! Great report!

 

[MCML]

Chain up.

 

[escapefjrtist]

I'm at work, so I can't see the pictures (I'll look when I get home) but I'm jealous and know almost every location and turn you're talking about. I've made that run several times and love the area. Enjoy and keep the rubber on the road... those wonderful, twisty roads... :yahoo:
