This morning I rode along the Pitchstone Plateau in Yellowstone National Park. Since I was plodding along at around 8000 ft. elevation, there were patches of snow here and there. Imagine my glee when I came across this little guy. A snowman in late June, who woulda thunk it.
Shortly after my snowman encounter, I started to drop from the plateau. As I was flying along, I broke into song. Guess what song I was singing?..."Frosty the Snowman". I didn't sing it softly, but at the top of my lungs. I sang it with great emotion. I was dancing on my bicycle seat! It was a spontaneous moment of utter joy!
At the bottom of the downhill, I exited Yellowstone and shortly thereafter...
The scale of these magnificent mountains cannot begin to be captured by photos and I most certainly lack an adequate enough grasp of the english language to do them justice.
In Colter Bay I met up with a work associate Troy and his wife and spent a wonderful afternoon with them driving around the Grand Teton National Park.
