Wednesday the initial plan was to take the Honda 90's and ride the Morrison Jeep Trail in the Beartooths. After driving to Roberts to buy Wyoming Off Road Permits, it was brought to our attention the trails in the Beartooths were probably not open. Brad at Power Sport was correct. Nothing is open on top.
So back to the drawing board.
Plan B: The Pryor Mountains
Step 1: Beartooth Ranger Station - Direction and Maps
Step 2: Take the long way to Bridger because of road construction. We took the Joliet/Fromberg Road for the first time. That is a neat area.
Step 3: Wait in line for a significant period of time at the Maverick station to gas up.
Step 4: Take wrong turn on Pryor Mountain Road but think we can back track and we could but...
See the road on the other side. That is were we need to be. So all the way back around. Finally after driving for 4 hours on interesting dirt roads we arrived at the trail we wanted to ride. Only to find that my battery was dead. The great thing about 90s is you can push start them but that means you never want to let them die in a flat area.
Step 5: Ride down beautiful, steep trails for an hour.
Step 6: Get lost on the way back to the van. Ride DOWN steep washed out ravine. Get scared by something in the bushes. Ride UP steep washed out ravine.
Step 7: Arrive at van after 3 hours of riding with busters on my throttle hand. Did I mention my throttle sticks?
Step 8: Drive two hours home, taking all the right turns.
Even with a few extra adventures we had a great ride.

I was trying to add up the hours in my head, but lost track...my goodness, Buschy! It sounds awfully fun or funnily awful. Or both.
Either way, it's gorgeous!
Food...what did you have in the way of food? I'm not moving an inch until I know what we'll be eating on a two hour trip, and I just KNOW you didn't pack enough...
