Home to San Antonio eventually. I think Yellowstone is next on his itinerary.

Not a chance, bird pics with iPhones come out as smudgy dots anyway.
Major cell with hail in Ennis after I left, another storm just missed me going into Cameron.
LeftCameron going south and a guy parked in his new truck dodging hail shows me another major cell was gonna be right where we were at shortly. Nothing for it but to โrunโ south (at 7 to 10mph JUST beat the outskirts (so far), gale force downdrafts gave me a tailwind.
Still โrunningโ south up the Madison Valley.

Storms training over the mountains to the west finally caught up a bit after the โpalisadesโ rock faces on the upper Madison, but sorta minor compared to the ones I was able to avoid.
I was gonna ride till dark tho pitching in the wet when wet followed by lows in the upper 40โs might not be fun.
Lo and behold, ninety minutes before dark, 56 miles from this morning, in the rain, quite unexpectedly a rest area appears ๐
Shelter, power outlets and drinking water, even decent phone coverage ๐
If all goes well thirty eight miles to West Yellowstone could put me at Old Faithful the day after tomorrow.
Must be all my clean livinโ
