Ya I know, heck, tell most people “I rode to New Mexico” and that does it already grin

A new wrinkle: sitting here wet at about 60F inside the rest area (Montana has really good ones) I suddenly got a case of the shivers, easily fixed with dry clothes and especially my awesome wool sweater.

My little tent holds a small but significant amount of body heat, I got a 40F rated bag, a large cotton bedsheet and can sleep fully clothed including sweater.

In Yellowstone lows are in the thirties w 50% chance of showers which around here I take to mean I’m gonna be wet at the end of the day, maybe camping in the rain.

Then too there’s an 8,000ft pass heading east out of Yellowstone.

Haven’t had to think about hypothermia in a long time. They say West Yellowstone just outside the park is a crowded zoo of tourists. Maybe I’ll look for a wool blanket when I’m there.
