Day 29: Monday, July 25, 2005 Togwotee Lodge to Dubois – We rode 37.7 miles and climbed 1579 feet and made it to about 1 mile from our motel before it started raining—but rain it did and we were soaked when we checked in. Good news was that the box with the drum brake had arrived so we are back in business and ready for whatever descents come our way!!!
Leaving Togwotee Lodge – warm and clear – beautiful!
Looking toward the 9 mile climb ahead
We were traveling on Hwy 26 between Togwotee Lodge and Duboise today
a zoom of the above photo
Glad to be here! Had a tail wind that made us cool but did not keep us from sweating!
looking back
ahead to the right
and back again and that sign on the right says we just came up 17 miles of 6% grade! We were so glad we had done half of it yesterday!
looking ahead
and now heading down 9 miles of 2% to 6% grade still with no drum brake so we will take it slow
heading down
The Pinnacles
When we came around the corner a bit ago there they were
But, I was not ready for them so I missed the best photo
They are the most rugged mountains I have ever seen
And just as spectacular as the Tetons
looking back at them
looking ahead
the road follows the Wind River
looking back along the Wind River
off to the right looking ahead
We stopped about here to put on our shoe covers just in case
looking back
coming into Dubois the west east side of the road had these views for many miles
the west side had these views
this is the view out of our motel room after the rain stopped!
