I just wanted to check in with a quick post to let everyone know we are in Island Park, ID for the next three days and then on to West Yellowstone for 9 days. I am sure I will have lots of pictures to post in the coming days.
We had an interesting afternoon and evening. We arrived here at Mack's Inn and were starting to set up camp when a couple on bicycles stopped to ask if we were the camp host. Dave informed them that no we were not, but gave them directions where to register for a site. We offered them something to drink and started to get acquainted and ended up spending the rest of the afternoon and until late into the evening with them. They are from Denmark and are riding their bikes from Salt Lake City to an unknown destination for the next three months. They have been on the road for about two weeks. They are hoping to ride their bikes to Alaska from here and then fly home. So we spent most of the evening searching online and looking at maps we have with us to help them plan their route. Oh by they way, they are 72 years old!!!!!!! They have biked across South America and Cuba in previous years.
We hope we are in half the shape they are, when we are their age. We felt very fortunate to share a pork tenderloin dinner with them, and hear their adventures. We helped them to arrange a rental car for the next two days, so they could tour Yellowstone. We will drive them to the airport in the morning to rent the vehicle and will pick them up on Wednesday morning when they return. In the mean time, we will store their bikes at our camp site. They are such a sweet couple, it was a privilege to meet them and share a bit in their adventure!
Well it's late and we need to get some sleep.
Hugs to all,
Candy
Your adventure keeps getting more fun! Thanks for sharing!!
