7-9 September 2001. Backpacked from “Berry Patch” trailhead at end of F. S. 2150 to a campsite on the Lily Basin Trail in the area named “Alpine” on maps. The trail is in fine shape; signs are adequate; signs of horse travel are abundant.
In the afternoon of Day 1 we hiked via the Pacific Crest Trail to the top of Old Snowy; a good use trail leads the very few hundred yards from the PCT proper to the top. A weatherbeaten board sign with no discernible words marks the junction, but it is obvious. A couple of patches of snow still cover the PCT, but they present no problem at all to a hiker. Hikers ought to note that an older version of the PCT can still be followed across a steeper snowfield; this is the trail that is still shown on most published maps. It doesn’t climb as high, but it offers more treacherous footing, and should probably be avoided.
From Old Snowy we proceeded directly to Ives Peak. The route is fairly obvious; some tread or signs that people have passed that way are evident. At first, dropping off the summit of Old Snowy, we had to descend on loose, but not steep, talus around a cliff buttress, but we were then able to regain the crest of the connecting ridge where the going is quite good for a while. In general it is well to stay on the crest or on the west side of it, but one prominent gendarme about halfway along the ridge is best passed on the left (east) side. A south-side ledge, then an easy scramble up to the left leads to the top of Ives. No particular route-finding skills are required to descend; the west slope of Ives is open talus presenting no problems.
On Day 2 we hiked up Curtis Gilbert using the first route described in Beckey’s Cascade Alpine Guide. This route DOES require some route-finding skill or luck; in any case it is somewhat unpleasant (loose rock). The description refers to crossing the Cispus-Klickitat Divide and then taking a loose-rock gully up to the left; this is correct, although there are several gullies and it is not entirely clear whether only one, or perhaps all of them, work. Halfway up it is necessary to traverse to the right (ESE) between lower and higher bands of cliffs, at approximately 7400′ or a little above. Some useful cairns are in place along this traverse. The route eventually tops out onto a summit plateau at about 7600′, after which the way is clear. It would seem inadvisable for a party unfamiliar with the route to descend it, and in fact considerable caution would be necessary to descend it under the most favorable conditions. Owing to rockfall hazard, a party larger than four probably ought to elect a different route, and this route probably ought not to attempted if another party is ahead. Helmets recommended.
Beckey’s Guide describes a “variation” of this route,which is in fact a completely independent summit route. (The last fifty feet to the top are a short scramble, the same by all routes.) We returned via this route, and found it long but delightful. Descending, one simply follows the “Klickton Divide”, an airy crest separating the Klickitat from the Tieton drainings. The divide is sometimes broad, sometimes narrow, but always feasible; it is possible to make quite good time on it. The northeast slope holds a glacier (Meade), much reduced from the map’s showing and from most published photographs. The southwest slope is for about two miles an unbroken cliff crowned with innumerable spires.
Choosing a route with care, one can eventually drop down into the Klickitat basin, beyond this cliff. However, perhaps surprisingly, Beckey’s route description in correct in that there exists an unmapped trail extending from the Klickton Divide about three miles WNWward to the PCT near Cispus Pass. Although it fades at times in meadows, especially wet ones, the trail generally affords a good tread and easy, rapid travel. A significant section of it is marked with blazes of orange paint on rocks and trees. This trail can be found on the descent of the Klickton Divide in a meadow at about 6600′, not far from where the USGS map shows a monument labeled “121”. After a steep descent of a couple of hundred feet on short switchbacks, it follows a bench at about 6400′, then gradually descends to a level near or below 6000′, which it maintains most of the way, staying mostly in meadows, occasionally open woods, below cliffs and talus fans. At the head of the Klickitat basin it may seem to head away from Cispus Pass; here simply head uphill WNW through meadows to meet the PCT at or near the pass.
A party attempting to use this route for both the ascent and descent of Curtis Gilbert is advised to make camp in Cispus Basin or near Cispus Pass. It is not difficult, but it is long.
A further note: all described routes up Curtis Gilbert enter the Yakima Reservation. The aforementioned abandoned and unmapped trail probably lies within the reservation for about three miles. (The boundary seems to be unmarked and unsigned.) My guess is that very few hikers in this area obtain permission to be there, but entering the reservation without a permit is, of course, not a recommended practice. The upper Klickitat is wild and lovely, affording solitude not to be found during good weather on the west slope (Gifford Pinchot National Forest) of the Goat Rocks. A suggestion: if a hiker should decide to traverse this region without permission, he/she ought at least to follow leave-no-trace principles scrupulously, and above all to avoid camping in it.
A further note: in addition to the abandoned trail, the PCT itself traverses the uppermost slopes of the Klickitat Basin (Yakima land).
Day 3 was a hike out along the Lily Basin and Goat Ridge trails, with a side trip to the excellent viewpoint of Hawkeye Point. The trails were all in fine condition.
Although the official trails we used were all in good shape, we found that maps, especially the USGS maps do not depict them correctly. This is especially the case in the area between Snowgrass Flat and the Pacific Crest Trail. The U. S. F. S. map (Goat Rocks Wilderness Area) is perhaps the most accurate, but even it has one or two misplacements. Most likely the trails have been relocated since the mapping surveys were completed.

Drop to 5800′ before ascending to the crest of the southeast ridge of Curtis Gilbert Peak at 6700′ near Warm Lake.

2004 did not start auspiciously. PASC sold to ACS in January. The euphoria and hard work of making the deal happen were quickly replaced by the struggle to adapt to big-company policies and loss of personal control. I skipped the Phoenician in January to teach snowboarding to adolescents at Snoqualmie Pass. It seemed like all of my backcountry ski trips got weathered out. We finally realized that the PSIA seminar in Sun Valley during spring break just wasn’t going to work – so we went to Whistler for a long weekend instead. I lost my iPod there. I signed up to lead a couple of climbs and a couple of scrambles but my heart wasn’t in it. I agreed to go on a trip to the Pickets that Jeff had been trying to sell for more than a year. Jeff rescheduled the Pickets trip to conflict with a climb and a scramble I’d just scheduled. I rescheduled my trips. By June I was in the middle of conversions, budgets, audits and take-aways. I was five pounds overweight because I hadn’t been able to get out all spring.
Odette was not much better – she was struggling with parents and siblings and work issues and was cycling hard to get fit. She wanted to go to Colorado in August and take a trip with Will before school resumed in September.
Will was planning to take the second level Java class at the University of Washington, and we told him that he had to get his community service and outdoor requirements out of the way – so he signed up for a canoe trip in July.
Then things changed.
Will got invited to a Knowledge Bowl competition in Orlando that conflicted with his outdoor trip which he rescheduled to August thus nixing the trip to Colorado. Then he got a summer job which nixed the Java class. Odette gave up the trip before school, but decided that instead we should all three go on a backpack. We settled on a week starting on a Tuesday in July and ending on the next Monday. Will told his new employers in advance. Odette scheduled the time off from her job. ACS decided that they would have the kick-off meeting for the new fiscal year in Los Vegas right in the middle of that week. I said I couldn’t go and they said – okay.
None of us really had time to to think about gear or packing until right before the trip. We went to REI and Will and I stuck a bunch of freeze dry into a basket. Later we realized that somehow we’d gotten a vegetarian rice pilaf so we substituted a chicken-with-rice left over from the previous year.
So the morning of Tuesday, July 20, 2004 found us sitting in an IHOP in the U district eating greasy half-cooked hash browns and limp bacon. I didn’t leave a tip for the surly waitress. We drove to White Pass under overcast skies with a little rain. I got stopped for speeding but the trooper let me off with a warning (73 in a 55 zone).
We left the highway at Clear Lake, missed the turn and drove for a few miles on around the lake. Will’s GPS wasn’t too much help but we finally realized that we needed to go back, found our turn, drove to the end of the North Fork Tieton River road and parked. I was nervous about the route we had planned. We had seven days and I wanted to spend it in the Goat Rocks because I hadn’t been there, Odette liked the William O. Douglas Wilderness next door, and this seemed like a place where Will and I could scramble things and Odette could hang out with the mosquitoes. Plus she really wanted to see mountain goats in the wild. The idea was to do a circumnavigation. Manning’s book on the South Cascades had a whole bunch of hikes in the area but no seven-day loops. The Trekking Washington book had a three day trek that fired my imagination – according to it, the highest and “most dangerous” stretch of the Washington PCT (pacific crest trail) runs through the Goat Rocks. But they described a one-way trip and the crest section of it was only five or six miles long. I studied all of the climbing books and hiking guides I could find for a loop or a base-camp that would keep us busy for a week. Then in Beckey I saw a mention of a “faint trail” from Cispus Pass to Surprise Lake. That was the missing link to a loop combining both the popular western approach through Snowgrass Flats and the eastern approach through Conrad Meadows. The only question was whether Odette could handle a Beckey “faint trail”. I outlined my thoughts to Jeff and he said “well I can see it on Beckey’s sketch map.” The deciding point was when I looked at WTA trip report and found someone from a couple of years ago who reported that it was fairly easy to follow the trail except through high grass in the meadows. (After the trip I found that Bob Dreisbach described the faint trail in his book. Odette knew Dreisback as an old man from Meany and it would have calmed her to know that someone like him had hiked it.)
I didn’t tell Odette about the route until we were packing the night before the trip. Then I showed her where it appeared on the sketch map and showed her the WTA trip report. I also didn’t show her the “highest and most dangerous” description until we were in the car on the way south.
Despite a lack of planning, we went light – no tarp, no extra books, not a lot of fleece – just freeze dry and ten essentials. My pack was about 65 pounds leaving home, Will’s was about 50 pounds and Odette’s was about 35 pounds. About a third of our total weight was food and fuel. We took a 40 oz. freeze dry and three servings of cup ‘o soup per day along with five oz. of trail mix, two cliff bars, a portion of oatmeal and two portions of candy for each of us. (We actually had a little more trail mix than that since it consisted of two parts rice crackers to one part almonds and we filled four wide-mouthed plastic bottles that originally each held 40 oz. of Costco cashews). We took ice axes for Will and me and a ski pole for Odette. Odette and I shared a tent and sleeping bag; Will carried his own. Will and I both took digital cameras. Will had his GPS. We did take the thermorest chair kits.
Leaving the car with heavy packs we hiked a gentle trail to Tieton Pass and then took the PCT south to a junction with the old trail into McCall Basin. It was hot and buggy but the trees shaded us. The trail was really dry climbing to the pass. On the PCT we met a couple of guys heading for White Pass. We descended slightly into the basin and dropped our packs in the first campsite to scout around and find a place to stay. We settled on a site on the bank of the stream that wasn’t too horsy. Odette stayed at the campsite while Will and I retrieved the packs. After a couple of attempts to just clip her pack onto the back of mine I strapped it under the top pocket and staggered back to set up camp. We had soup and then lasagna and went to bed early and tired.
In the morning we went looking for the waterfall shown on the map and found it so far down in the gorge that we couldn’t approach it. We hiked over the ridge into Glacier Basin and began looking for a way to cross the stream. As we moved upstream we had to navigate several rocky benches that left Odette unhappy. Then we climbed to the top of the upper falls in brush and rock and snow – which left her scared. Then we traversed the top of the basin on snow and boulders which left her refusing to proceed. So she sat and waited while Will and I climbed scree and snow to the top of point 6728. (It looked like it should have been Tieton Peak to me on the way up, but Will’s GPS quickly informed us that there wasn’t anything that big anywhere near.) We had a glorious view of Rainier and the basin and we identified Curtis Gilbert, Goat Rocks, Ives, Old Snowy, Egg Butte, and the McCall glacier. We descended quickly startling Odette with a yodeling glissade. She got her feet wet when she broke through a snowbridge on her way back and we chided her for not following in our steps. Then we walked in circles on the next snow patch we came to. The cliffs were easier on the way down and we were back to camp by late afternoon. We found two young ladies and a dog in the stream by our camp. They were surprised to hear that we were heading south on the PCT. We ate beef stroganoff and went to bed early.
Packing up in the morning we found that the buckle to Odette’s hip band was missing, evidently lost when I was wrestling with the weight of our combined packs. I jury rigged a replacement with cable-ties and we continued. We hiked back up to the PCT and then headed for Elk Pass – a schlep with our still-heavy packs. There were a lot of blowdowns on the trail which surprised me. The guides say that you want to hike this country before it dries out enough for horses – perhaps they don’t maintain the trails until the horses can get in, too. The trail climbed to the ridge giving views into McCall Basin and then over to the west side of the crest we had looked at the day before. Finally we saw Rainier and then we crossed a ridge and dropped into a basin before climbing back up to Elk Pass. Odette went slower and slower as we got higher. I snapped at her and told her that I didn’t mind her stopping a lot and I didn’t mind her going slow but she couldn’t do both. We came to a couple of small snow patches that she didn’t like and she declared that if she had to cross one more she was going to sit down and wait for a ranger. I wished her good luck. Will waited for us at the pass.
The next section of the trail was incredible – high traverses across scree fields, winding in and out among rock towers, keeping mainly to the ridge. In places they’d leveled off the ridge top and we walked for long stretches next to the top of the glaciers on the eastern slope. In places we went up and down steep shattered rock to get around gendarmes. As the book said, you wouldn’t have wanted to meet a horse party. At the first resting place I ran the ridge out to the top of Egg Butte. We met a guy who bragged abut his speed and we recommended McCall Basin to him. He said he had hiked the trail (instead of taking the shortcut across the Packwood Glacier) to see what it was like and that it was rocky. We met a pair of guys going slowly who said that they had crossed the glacier and that it was frightening (“if you fall you die!”).
When we got to the shortcut I said that we should follow Harvey’s recommendation and climb above the glacier on the rocks. Will and Odette were tired and insisted on the snow. I acquiesced. The first part wasn’t bad, but the second snowfield ended with a rising traverse on steep snow under a corniced ridge with no run-out. (At least I couldn’t see the run-out since it dropped too steeply, but it obviously ended in rocks since there was a boulderfield visible way below us.) I connected two fifteen-foot sections of webbing and tied myself to Odette. I figured that if she slipped I could probably hold her and with my ice axe. We crossed just fine but I was anxious all of the way, probably more anxious than Odette was.
A little way below the exit from the snow we found a rudimentary shelter and running water so we rested and I pumped. Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier were right THERE. I can’t remember if we could still see St. Helens. We could see a spectacular frozen lake across the valley (Mt. Johnson – where the goats are according to Beckey.) The crest of the Goat Rocks was just above us. I told Odette that I was disappointed that they hadn’t been willing to take the trail in the rocks since I would have climbed Old Snowy from the high-point and would have tried to talk her and Will into coming with me. I think that I said I felt “cheated” and I know that whatever the word was, she got offended . We saddled up again and continued toward Snowgrass Flats – past a closer frozen lake, past a collapsed shelter, over more snow and down into the greenery. It had been a long day when we finally came to the junction with the Snowgrass Flats trail and found tents pitched close by. With Will grumbling in the background we continued on the crest trail for a quarter of a mile until we found a very nice site out on a promontory under big trees with a view of Adams, the Goat Rocks crest, and the valley leading to Cispus Basin. There wasn’t a lot of water but there was a small deep pool to dip from a hundred yards away from the tents. We set up camp and hung the food bags. The meadows around and below us were full of beargrass and lupine and paintbrush and scarlet gillia and anemone. The sunset made the crags of the crest glow orange. It was pretty cool.
I got up at 6:00 the next morning, made tea, and at 6:30 I was hiking past the junction with the trail to Snowgrass Flats. I hiked to the high-point on the crest trail (which was adequately maintained and easy enough to follow) and then walked up the ridge to the top. There was a breeze on top but I stopped to put on sunscreen and dark glasses. I followed the ridge down to the saddle with Ives, detouring to the west around gendarmes and steps. Just after leaving the top of Old Snowy there is a peculiar arch made of crumbly, glassy, rock that is almost cobalt blue. From the saddle I walked up the ridge to the summit of Ives. The summit block was a hundred-foot cliff but it was obvious that if you could get up on the south slope it would be easy. I tried the first gully and quickly got into hard climbing so I backed off and walked on around until I could do it the easy way. The south slope was steep but made up mainly of small flat talus fragments. I walked easily to the top and spent a few minutes admiring the view and orienting the map and identifying the stuff we’d seen from Glacier Basin.
I descended from Ives following the ridge but staying further east. There were a couple of big snowfields that were gentle enough for standing glissades. There was a steep dirty red slope to traverse to get into the upper Cispus basin. I traversed around the head of the basin on dirt and snow and then climbed the ridge on the other side. I topped out on the ridge just below where it met the Goat Spires and maybe half-a-mile east of Cispus Pass. I read the descriptions in Beckey and Smoot and wasn’t sure how far over the “obvious gully” might be so I descended steep snow on the other side, then crossed the snow and contoured over to the first big gully after the ridge. As I was getting over to it I heard rockfall and saw a cloud of dust – and then realized that there were a bunch of goats going up the gully in front of me. I figured that the goats probably knew the best way up so I followed them, staying to the side of the gully to avoid the rocks they kicked down. I kept looking up and seeing goats perched improbably on the tips of slender spires. The gully got steep and crappy. I threaded my way back and forth picking the easiest ascent. The right side was wet and muddy from melt water. The middle was a bowling alley. I climbed a fourth class step, angled left at the top and found a cairn. I climbed some steep loose wet rock to another cairn. My mantra the whole way up was “a crappy pile of rock – with mountain goats on top.”
At a fork in the gully I could see at least a dozen goats kneeling on a big ledge a few hundred feet above me. I took the left-hand fork leading directly to the goats and presumably to a hidden snow basin. I quickly found that the gully was full of snow but I was able to climb in the moat on the left side. As I neared the top the goats started to spook and in small groups they bounded across the snow above me and disappeared up a ramp to the right. I got up to their crossing and realized that I didn’t want to be on that snow. As easy as the goats made it look, the snow was very hard under the top inch, very steep, and very rocky at the bottom. I realized that I was off route and I figured that I should probably head back down to the bottom of the snow and take the right fork of the gully. I couldn’t see if it really connected but it appeared as if it would put me on the ramp the goats took. It was a long way down and back up, though, and I couldn’t figure out where the top was. I thought about just giving up and returning to camp.
After considering things for a while I continued up to the goat ledge and found that there was a moat around the top of the snow – although I had to stem between the snow and the rock for maybe a hundred yards. Just below the most difficult part was the opening to a tunnel that cut across fifty feet and exited on the other side. The walls must have been very thin because it was bright blue inside. I thought about crawling through the tunnel (it was maybe five feet tall and perfectly circular,) but I was concerned that the walls were so thin that it might collapse sending me down the slope so I stuck to the moat. As I kicked steps for my right foot I was concerned that I was going to go through and break out the walls of the tunnel. After I got around the top the moat widened out and eventually I exited it to the goat ramp. The ramp topped out just to the north of a cliffy flat-topped block called Goat Citadel. The guides said to pass that on the south so I walked around just below it on easy ground and found that I needed to descend a hundred feet or so on talus to a saddle between Goat Citadel and the Curtis Gilbert summit block. First I walked up the easy side of the citadel to look at the slender stakes protruding from the top. They were county line markers.
I descended to the saddle and then climbed a sandy slope to the summit block. Despite what it says in the guide I had to traverse half way around to get to rock that looked like I could scramble. The last couple hundred feet were easy and the view was great. I ate my trail mix and a cliff bar. It was about 2:00. Although I knew it went, I wasn’t very interested in going down the way I had come up. I decided to head down to the saddle and then descend Beckey’s obvious gully.
Heading down from the summit block I followed boot tracks and cairns on the southwest corner. As the ridge leveled out below the summit block it seemed like a long ways around to get to the saddle and I kind of followed the track due west. When the climbers trail turned south to follow the ridge crest I continued west thinking that maybe I could just drop the four- or five- hundred feet to the valley bottom. As I headed down the talus slope I realized that I was eventually going to get cliffed out and that I either needed to head back over to the normal route or I needed to follow the track. I pulled out the route descriptions again and then decided to follow the ridge south until I could see a way down.
The ridge was broad and flat and easy going, with county line markers most of the way. Every time I looked into a west-facing gully I ended up deciding not to head down because of the visible profusion of spires and cliffs. I continued south on the ridge for a couple of miles (and a couple of hours) generally bypassing bumps on the left (east) side. As I got further and further from the summit I got more and more interested in seeing where Becky’s “faint trail” crossed the ridge. The east side of the ridge was steep and mainly snow-covered and I was concerned about how I was going to get Odette down it. I finally started to see gullys on the west that I thought I could get down but I decided to continue on the ridge until I found the trail. I scared out a couple of elk (I didn’t see them but I heard them take off down the right side of the ridge) and then, in a meadow full of lupine I found a pair of big cairns on the east side of the ridge. The descent here was short and snow-free. I could see a trail entering trees at the bottom, only a couple hundred feet below me. I could see a trail on the valley bottom beyond the trees. I walked part way down the slope and couldn’t see where the trail went down but I figured that it didn’t matter because Odette could just walk straight down. I had to poke around on the west side of the ridge for a while before I found the trail down hidden in the lupine and cedars. There weren’t any cairns but the tread was clear. Shortly after starting up the trail I ran out some more elk, again hearing but not seeing them. The trail dropped down through the cliffs and then leveled out. In the rocky sections it was well marked with red paint blazes on rocks. I tried to kick branches off as I went. It was obviously well traveled by game and there were well developed bypasses around the blowdowns. At one point I got off track and ended up going down through a thicket in a wet area. As I came out of the brush at the bottom I saw two bull elk just ahead of me, grazing in a meadow. They didn’t startle so I got the camera out and then had to whistle at them to get them to raise their heads for the photo. They both had huge racks. I continued on the trail, basically contouring along at the same elevation, generally loosing the trail when it crossed a meadow and picking it up when it entered the trees on the other side. I finally came to the basin below the gully where I’d headed up in the morning (the source of the Klickitat, in the Yakima Indian Reservation.). As I came out of the woods I realized that the basin was full of elk. I counted forty sleek, fat, horse-sized animals slowly moving downhill as I approached. At least that many more went up and around. The whole headwaters of the Klickitat smelled of musk and elk piss. I bashed through the trees, crossed the creek on snow and contoured around the other side of the basin. I scared out a couple of deer before starting the switchbacks up to the top of the ridge. The trail was hard to follow as it got nearer the ridge top but in the scree there were terraces visible and I followed them until I hit the abandoned trail again just before the top. I stuck an old signpost upright to mark where I’d left the trail and then hopped over the snowbank at Cispus Pass and onto the crest trail. It was about 6:00 when I hit the crest trail and I sat long enough to eat a cliff bar then headed back for camp as quickly as I could. I covered the three miles in a little over an hour, stopping at a waterfall to wash my head and face. Odette and Will had waited for me for dinner. They had walked to Snowgrass Flats and back – less than a mile – and then sat around and read all day.
In the morning we packed up and headed down the trail to Cispus Pass. We took the abandoned trail and worked our way down into the basin. We met three climbers in the basin who were backing off after attempting Curtis Gilbert. At one point we saw a couple of cow elk. We smelled the others. We had a game going about the red paint blazes. Odette found the trail steep where it climbed up through the cliffs. I dropped my pack and came back to carry hers. At the top of the steep part there is a section that looks like it could have once been a road – wide and flat and nestled between a boulder field and some big slabs. We had as much trouble getting through the cedars and onto the ridge top as I had experienced the previous day finding the start. We rested on the top of the ridge and Will and I replenished our water bottles with snow. We headed down to Surprise Lake and after we got down the slope we realized that the trail cunningly stayed right at the edge of a boulderfield. We connected scraps of trail until we came out on a dusty, heavily used trail which we followed to Surprise Lake. At the lake we passed two men with horses, one of which was down on its side with the guys pulling on a leg. Neither the guys nor the horse looked very happy. We decided to continue, intending to find the junction with the other branch of the Surprise Lake loop, and to camp there instead of at the lake. We never found the junction but continued on a horribly dusty horse trail all the way down to the bottom of the valley. (Harvey warned us.) It felt much longer than it appeared on the map and the trail never got close to the creek after the outlet from the lake. When the trail finally returned to the creek we crossed a bridge and followed a way path into the brush to a marginally acceptable clearing next to the water. I tied young cedars down to give a free-hanging space for our foodbags. The tents were almost touching each other but we slept well that night, too.
The next morning we discovered that we were very close to the Conrad Meadows trailhead. This is how I imagine William O. Douglas country – dry and high and open – made for horses and for exploring. The valley opened out as we approached Conrad Meadows with really nice campsites and the river looked inviting. We had a slight dispute about which Conrad Meadows trailhead we were at, but Will and his GPS proved correct as usual. After walking about a mile on the road we found the Bear Creek Mountain trailhead behind a gate. We headed up and it was hot and dry but not as dusty as the previous day. We drank all the water we had and at about noon we finally came to a meager creek (really more of a seep) and I filtered water for all of us and an extra liter for myself. Less than an hour later, after crossing several much better creeks, we came to a nice camp site at the junction with the trail to the lookout. We rested but didn’t head for the summit. We hiked on a couple of miles in gorgeous meadows looking for an established campsite with water. We finally found water but realized that we’d missed the junction with the trail to the North Fork Tieton. We retraced our steps to the junction and camped there in trees. The bugs were bad and we must have looked pretty funny with all of our fleece and headgear when a group of horsemen rode up doing trail maintenance.
The next day we headed down to the North Fork Tieton. The trail was good and most of the blowdowns had been cleared. Downhill and with light packs we made good time. Shortly before noon the trail deposited us on the bank of the river – maybe 100 feet wide and with strong current and a lot of water. We looked around and found debris from a bridge. I crossed on a logjam downstream where there were big logs twelve or fifteen feet in the air. Will followed me when I came back for Odette’s pack. She didn’t want to be up that high and scooted herself across on smaller logs just above the water. Will and I laughed as she struggled with branches and cross logs.
The cars were ten minutes from the other side of the river. We rinsed off and changed shoes and shirts and then headed for Yakima with one full jar of trail mix and a bunch of extra cliff bars. We stopped for milkshakes in Natches and then took I-90 to Seattle. We got back to town just before 5:00 and headed straight for Dave Page in Fremont where I dropped off my boots. (The liners had completely disintegrated in the heels and they kept balling up and bothering me.) I had a climb of Snowfield scheduled for that weekend and the cobbler said she would have my boots ready for me in three days.
During the trip I took well over 100 photos. Will took almost as many as I did. When I got home I downloaded them and Odette ordered a few prints for her father. A couple of weeks later, while I was on a trip in the Picket Range, our house was burglarized and both my computer and Will’s were stolen. All of our photos of the backpack were lost with those computers. At the end of the month Will and Odette visited her father in Colorado and Will photographed the prints she’d given him. Here are the only images we have.

July 28, 2004
Today, Yellowstone National Park awaited us. After finishing breakfast at Madison Campground, we packed up our tent to begin our day of sightseeing. We left at 7:30 AM, hoping to beat some of the park rush. That wasn’t early enough. There were a lot of early bird motorists out as well as they no doubt were heading to Old Faithful. We began our route by ascending the curvy park road. The climbing was necessary as we were leaving the Madison River valley and there were three continental divide crossings ahead of us.
Our first stop was at a cluster of cars. As usual, an animal sighting had created a tourist traffic jam. There were two adult elk and a fawn which was a treat to see. One of the adults had a neck collar on for tracking proposes. Getting a photo of the young elk was quite difficult as it was being very shy. As we continued, we noticed that the climb was getting more difficult in places. We shifted to our second lowest gear which meant that we were now crawling along at 4 mph. We needed to pedal 16 miles up to Old Faithful and the motorists were giving us a wide berth which was nice. At one point, an older, non-touring cyclist passed us.
About ten miles before Old Faithful, we approached Lower Geyser Basin and started seeing areas of steam rising up from the ground. Seeing the earth emit so many pockets of steam was quite a wonderful sight. The steam clouds and the geysers are what distinguishes Yellowstone from the other parks. Entering Yellowstone from the west and exiting to the south, we were seeing just a small portion of what this grand park had to offer. We saw a lone buffalo that was distant from the road. We had been told that the buffalo herds were not in the areas of the park we would be biking across so this was a bonus.
The Old Faithful Geyser was located about a mile off the main road. We arrived at the visitors center to learn that the next eruption was projected to be about 50 minutes away. The park officials predict a time but caution that they can be off by five minutes or more. To fill in the time until the eruption, we walked to the Old Faithful Inn. The Inn was built 100 years ago and survived the 1988 fires because so many people rallied to defend it. This included Idaho farmers who diverted irrigation water specifically for the Inn. The lobby is six stories high and the pillars and railings were built using the the natural twisted shapes of tree branches. The Inn had an elegant yet rustic look.
We walked back to the geyser area and more people were gathering for the anticipated flare-up. As we waited for the big show, we ate some of the food we had with us. While eating, a woman from Missouri walked by and pointedly asked “Are you collecting money for Habitat?” The details of our trip were unimportant to her. She believed in our cause and quickly handed money to us. Almost exactly at 10:47 AM as predicted, Old Faithful erupted for approximately three minutes. There were the usual oohs and ahs and then everyone quickly dispersed. The cycle repeats about every 92 minutes. Randall’s impression was that the whole thing was over hyped. Barb reminded him that what we saw was completely natural and not made in Hollywood for millions of dollars. Imagine the wonder of it all when it was first discovered.
After the geyser show, we biked back to the main road and continued our route towards the south exit. We passed by a number of areas that were affected by the fires of 1988. That must have been quite a wildfire. There were signs which said “Naturally reseeded by wildfire in 1988.” Park officials are trying to change the way people view wildfires. The post-fire landscape may be barren initially, but it is all a part of the life cycle with both plants and animals benefiting from the “rebirth.” Many of the new trees naturally seeded were taller than us.
Not too long after leaving Old Faithful, we arrived at Kepler Cascades where we stopped to view the rushing water. Being in a park setting with lots of tourists, we were certainly getting some looks. A couple of people were curious enough to ask us about our trip so we handed them our Habitat card. Back on the road, our route would take us over the Continental Divide three times within a 20 mile span. Wow, no wonder we have so many of these crossings! These crossings would be our eighth, ninth and tenth and the three highest passes so far. Each pass was well marked with a large sign and had a small area for the photo opportunity.
Craig Pass, at 8,262 feet, came first. This was the most difficult of the three divides that we pedaled to. After Old Faithful, we had to climb nearly 1,000 ft in elevation to reach that first divide crossing. The day was heating up so we rested at a overlook above Shoshone Lake. At the overlook, we met a touring cyclist with a Bike Friday (a folding type of bicycle). Like us, David was biking east on the TransAmerica route. Since he was from Philadelphia and unlikely to return to Yellowstone, he was taking a couple of extra days to see the park. He had left his gear at the campground so that he could tour around the park with a lighter load. He was doing this trip solo but he also had a tandem back home. David had a website documenting his travels and was raising money for a child he knew who had severe birth defects. We had lots to talk about. As we left, he told us to “enjoy the tailwind, it’s on me.” Given that he was headed the opposite direction that we were, his sendoff statement was quite appropriate. You can check out his website at ridingforamanda.com.
We soon reached the second crossing at 8,391 feet. Another divide crossing, another photo op! We then enjoyed a curvy descent as we dropped about 600 ft in elevation. As we coasted downhill, we had some good views of Yellowstone Lake. At the bottom of the descent, the town of Grant Village was a couple of miles off the route. Because we had a goal of reaching the more distant Colter Bay Village, we opted not to go off the route. Our last divide crossing of the day was at a mere 7,988 ft. The climb to this crossing was gradual and no big deal.
We crossed paths with two other cyclists before leaving the park. One was a young teacher who could cycle all summer. He had biked 56 days so far to get to Yellowstone from Virginia via the TransAmerica route. The second was an older man, perhaps around sixty, who was from the Netherlands. He was riding a recumbent with larger size wheels which put him at almost a level position with his feet way out in front. He had to raise his head to see the road in front of him. It didn’t look comfortable but he surely preferred it.
After the divide crossings, we had a few short climbs as we rode by Lewis Lake and the 30 ft high Lewis Falls. As we neared the southern boundary of the park, the Lewis River could be seen far below us in a deep river gorge. The wildfires of 1988 were powerful enough to jump this river and keep going. About two miles north of the park’s exit, we began a long, straight descent. Going down the side of the mountain at 35 mph, we reached the park boundary in just a few minutes.
Awaiting us at the park’s exit was a long line of cars. Hmmm, what was this? The line was long because of road construction ahead. Once we reached the flag woman, she radioed ahead to the pilot truck. The pilot truck driver said her pickup bed was too short for loading a tandem. However, there was another longer, pilot truck that would be available in 45 minutes. So as the cars went through, following the shorter pilot truck in various cycles, we had to wait and wait.
When the longer pickup arrived, we removed the panniers and the trailer from the tandem. We then loaded everything onto the bed of the truck. Randall also rode with the tandem as he used one hand to hang on to the pickup and the other to keep the tandem from falling off. Barb rode in the cab with the driver. For the first time in 3,200 miles, we were required to put our bike and trailer on the bed of a pilot vehicle and be driven through a construction zone. The pickup took us over 4 miles of very rough road with mud and wet gravel. We were very appreciative to not have to bike through that.
Once we hopped back on the bike, we were now traveling down Highway 287 in the Grand Teton National Park. Our route took us by Jackson Lake as we ventured down a hilly, curvy road. After three continental divide crossings, we were OK with the curves but the hills were not how we wanted to end the day. We could see the mountains but they were hazy. Do they have smog in western Wyoming? We later learned that there was a debate as to the source of the haze. Depending on which weatherman you listened to, the smoke from forest fires in either in Alaska, Canada or Washington State was to blame. Even without a clear view, the Teton Mountains were certainly majestic.
When we reached Colter Bay Village, we were very much ready to retire for the day. We had called about hotel availability but the prices were too high (typical for resorts in park areas). We would be camping again tonight, but this time, there was a separate service area with groceries and showers facilities. The hikers/bikers were placed in the furthest section from the entrance to the campground, about a mile from the service area. When we discovered the distant location of the camp sites, we decided to bike back one mile to the service area. We went directly to the shower facilities. Randall had no waiting for the men’s shower but Barb had a line of women to wait on. We washed our bodies and our clothes and then put the wet clothes back on. Our clothes dried faster this way but not fast enough for Barb as she put a jacket on.
At the neighboring grocery store, we bought some sandwiches for dinner and some pop tarts and fruit for breakfast. There were some touring cyclists outside the grocery store who asked us about our trip. They were biking the Great Divide, a mountain bike route which closely follows the Continental Divide from New Mexico to Montana. Their route used forest service roads a lot. Sometimes our route has taken us to isolated areas, but theirs takes them on even more isolated excursions. Perhaps we could have tried this type of ride 20 years ago, but certainly not now!
We biked back to the campground and picked a campsite next to a motorcycle gang. We rushed to set up our tent and eat dinner before nightfall. What a day it was!

It was a bit chilly in the morning so Randall made some hot tea. After breakfast, Barb called Jack on the satellite phone to discuss our upcoming stop in Saratoga, WY. Jack is a brother to our friend Marian back in Michigan. We broke camp and headed out of the campground. There was no one manning the entrance when we arrived late last night, but the booth was staffed this morning and they were willing to take our money for camping overnight. We asked the park ranger if we could reach the bay and view the mountains. He told us the bay was only about 3/4 of a mile away so we headed west to the bay. We got a good view of the Teton range although it was still a little hazy. We went back to the main road and headed south on Highway 287.
Just a few miles down the highway, there was a scenic turnout with a nice, broad view of the Tetons so we stopped for a picture (one cannot take too many photos of these gorgeous mountains). While at the turnout, we chatted with a couple from New York traveling in a motor home. They had been all around the northwest and had even driven through a snow storm on one mountain pass. Soon, we reached Moran Junction where many vehicles went south to Jackson, WY. We turned east (staying on Highway 287) and there was a cluster of parked vehicles at the next curve we came to. Another animal sighting was creating roadside havoc. This time, a moose was eating leaves off a distant tree. As we continued east, we exited the Grand Teton National Park. After every five mile break, we would look back to the west as the Tetons were visible for quite a distance.
Putting miles between ourselves and the park, the terrain became most arid and there were many ranches beside the road. We were seeing a lot of horses which one would expect to see in Wyoming (even their car tag has a horse). With limited services along our route today, we were sure to stop at a dude ranch resort for lunch. As part of their horse theme, the resort had “Whoa” signs posted on their property. We would soon start some serious climbing, so we had a serious meal with lots of iced tea. We filled up our water bottles and set out for the 18 mile, 2,300 ft climb.
The climb to the 9,658 feet, Togwotee Pass was somewhat tormenting. A 2,300 ft change in elevation isn’t very much when it is spread out over 18 miles. The problem was that for each hard climb we had, we would then go down a hill afterwards which negated much of our effort. The afternoon was a bit warm but we had a gentle tail wind to help keep us cooler. Another thing that made our ascent to Togwotee Pass memorable was the road tar. There were several half mile sections of the highway that had been resurfaced with sticky asphalt or tar. This was an ordeal as the tires became gooey and were sticking to the road. We would get some relief when the resurfaced section ended as the tires would then lose some of their tackiness. Then, another new section of fresh tar would begin. We repeated this pattern at least a dozen times on the uphill. Fortunately, the distance between the sections increased and the tar was less sticky towards the top.
At one rest stop, we noticed the disk brake was dragging and that the rear tire was possibly rubbing against the frame. We didn’t need extra drag going up the mountain! Randall spent some time realigning the wheel before he decided that the rear wheel itself needed to be trued a bit. We pulled out the spoke wrench and Randall made some small adjustments to make the wheel more true. With the wheel adjusted, the disk brake also stopped dragging.
As we climbed higher, the density of trees along the road increased. The trees were appreciated as we were less exposed to the sun. Towards the top, a broad open field emerged as we had a beautiful view. We reached the summit, our eleventh Continental Divide crossing, at 5 PM. At 9,658 ft, it was the highest elevation we had biked to on this tour. Even with the challenges we had on this climb, we felt like this was a fairly easy ascent. The sign for motorists heading down the road we had just climbed up said, “6% grade for 18 miles.” That was hilarious to us as there were probably only 6 total miles that were at 6 percent.
Having to bike 30 miles after 5 PM would normally mean a long day. But now that the climbing was behind us, we could enjoy the downhill to Dubois, WY and our long awaited day of rest. There was little traffic to contend with so we were able to go 30 to 40 mph for the first 10 miles. The next 20 miles, we slowed to 15 to 25 mph. The scenery was spectacular with high buttes. The red and white colors of the nearby hills were quite striking. We came across a fake cattle guard on the highway. Instead of a series of bars with gaps between, it had painted white lines. It was much nicer for a touring tandem to cross, but we still slowed down for it because it looked so real. Apparently, it fools the cattle, too. We got to Dubois by 6:30. There was another couple in the motel lobby as we checked in. Upon learning about our adventure, they said, “So, this is what crazy people look like!” The motel operators were quite receptive to touring cyclists as they had a “Welcome Bikers” on their sign and offered rags for cleaning the bike.
We walked to the nearby grocery store to get some microwavable meals for dinner and tomorrow’s meals. We needed to stay inside our room as much as possible to work on the website. The room was billed as a river view (the Wind River was just south of the motel), but the owners had recently added a deck and storage area so we had a nice shed to look at. The walls of the motel room were covered with wood planks. Wildlife prints and antlers also adorn the walls. This was all very beautiful but the poor lighting made typing on a keyboard difficult. There was only one desk area so Barb sat on the bed and used a upside down drawer on her lap to hold her Palm computer and keyboard. We slowly made some progress, but not as much as desired.

We stayed in the motel up to the 10:00 AM checkout time but were unable to get the next stage story ready to publish. Although we were getting a later start, our next stop was projected to be Lander, WY (about 70 miles away) as most of the miles were expected to be downhill. As we departed Dubois, we were amused by some of the marketing props the merchants were using in town and outside of town to attract tourists. One motel had a large, plastic black bear in its yard. The car wash had a life-sized moose on its roof. The store fronts had mostly western themes.
Continuing southeast on Highway 287, there was a short climb just outside of Dubois. Before long, we were flying along at 15 to 20 mph as we followed the Wind River. We saw more of the pretty red buttes along the road, similar to what we had seen west of Dubois. Thunderstorms to the north and west were a nice backdrop to this setting. We were able to avoid getting wet but could not avoid the crosswinds. We came across a stopped motorist who had been heading northwest. A highway patrolman parked behind him was apparently writing up a ticket. The driver said to us, “Better watch your speed or he’ll get you.” At least he could still joke. We were going fast by our standards but not fast enough to get a ticket. After ten miles of riding, we entered the Wind River Indian Reservation. Services during our trek through the reservation were expected to be scarce with only gas station stops at Crowheart, WY and Fort Washakie, WY.
The general store in Crowheart was a welcomed lunch stop. This store was a delightful combination of gas station, groceries, hardware items, auto supplies, sporting goods and the local post office. We heard a faint sound and wondered, where have we heard this sound before? We found the noise source in a side room. A woman was slowly typing on an electric typewriter. Wow! We bought sandwiches, chips, cookies and icy drinks. We sat down on the bench in front of the store to eat and watch the people coming and going. A number of Native Americans stopped to gas up their vehicles. One teenage girl was wearing a red t-shirt which had the name of her reservation on it. Most striking was her footwear, a pair of red and white striped Nikes.
Refreshed from our lunch stop, we continued southeast again. Biking through the reservation, the land look very rugged and could be described as “badlands” as years of wind and water erosion have worn away the hills and buttes. The 15 miles between Crowheart and Fort Washakie looked fairly abandoned with a little sage brush and apparently very little rainfall. After eight miles of this remote setting, we climbed a couple hundred feet in elevation. We were now biking across a high plateau and the view up there seemed even more remote.
We descended the plateau north of Fort Washakie. Arriving in this predominately Native American town, we got some icy drinks and snacks. The convenience store and a neighboring business had bars behind the windows which may have been a indication of the challenge of making a living in the area. Leaving town, it looked like rain was coming from the west, so we were eager to complete the last 15 miles to Lander. Southeast of Fort Washakie, the wind from this front unexpectedly blew in on our right side. The wind speed jumped dramatically from 10 mph to over 40 mph. The effect of the wind was tremendous as it blew our tandem around. We were leaning the tandem about 10 to 15 degrees to the right (into the wind) to stay upright. A piece of trash got caught in the front wheel fender and made quite a racket. Amazingly, we did not get wet from any of this storm blowing through.
After leaving the Wind River Reservation, we saw a few farms along the road, some with sheep, cattle and horses. Just north of Lander, we enjoyed a nice hill going down into town. Lander, a city of nearly 7000 people, had lots of services. However, one hotel listed on our map appeared to be renting rooms by the month. Another hotel that looked well maintained, had a vacancy sign and one car parked in the lot, but no one answered the door bell at the office. We continued through town and got the last nonsmoking room at the Pronghorn, a more upscale motel. Unfortunately, the room was on the second floor so we had to carry our gear up the stairs. The tandem stayed downstairs, locked to a pillar. We ordered in pizza and finished the stage story to Missoula before going to bed.

The continental breakfast at the motel did not offer a lot of options, so we walked to the nearby McDonalds for breakfast. There were church services one half mile south at 10 AM so we packed up and biked to church. We put our long pants and sweaters on over our bike shorts and shirts to be more presentable. The day was already warm and the church was not air conditioned, so we sat quietly so as to not get too hot. The readings and sermon talked about the danger of toiling through life while focusing on meaningless things. It reminded us of why we were going on this trip. Afterwards, several people came up to our bike to ask about our trip. We got a couple of donations and were sufficiently warned about the big climb of the day – Beaver Rim.
We stopped for lunch before leaving the outskirts of town as services for the next 120 miles were quite limited. We chatted with the people at the table next to us. One of them owned a business in town in 1976 when the TransAmerica Route (then called the Bikecentennial Route) was first used. He remembered hundreds of bikers coming through. They said that the infamous west wind usually starts at 2 PM. We could see that the flag across the street was perfectly still, but it wouldn’t be for long. As we paid for our meal, the restaurant was closing down because of a gas leak and everyone was rushed out of the building.
Continuing on Highway 287 out of Lander, the road was fairly flat initially. After a while, Barb could feel that the rear tire was behaving oddly. Sure enough, we had a flat. We stopped in a nearby driveway and began to change the tire. To access the rear tire, we have to unhook the trailer. The tools are in a triangular-shaped bag on the bike frame and the tubes are stored in the trailer. As we prepared to repair the flat, a pick-up truck stopped in a turnout across the highway. The driver appeared to be looking at a lake on the opposite side of the highway, but we felt he was keeping an eye on us. Perhaps, he wanted to be sure we would be riding again, yet he just didn’t want to impose if he wasn’t needed. It took us about five minutes to fix the flat and as we were putting the wheel back on the bike, the pick-up truck drove away, the driver apparently confident that we were OK.
We began a gentle climb nine miles out of Lander. The wind started blowing on our right side just before the significant climb up Beaver Rim. We would need to gain a thousand feet in six miles to reach the top of the Rim. There was a climbing lane most of the time which was nice as it gave us more room to maneuver in the wind. As we approach the start of the six mile climb, a crosswind was blasting us at 30 to 40 mph. For one mile of climbing, Randall kept maneuvering the tandem back to the right side of the road as the strong wind was having its way with our tandem. What a workout! After this mile of weaving, the road then bend to the right. We were now going straight into the wind. Oddly, this actually made our climbing easier as we no longer needed to correct for the wind gusts from the side. With much less effort to keep the bike upright, we could now concentrate our energies on just moving forward. About half way up, a pick-up truck slowly pulled up along side of us as we were biking. An older couple asked if we would like a ride to the top. We thanked them for their offer, but said we were doing fine. The climb was long, and the wind added to the challenge, but it was doable. About a mile from the top of the rim, we saw the remains of a large rattle snake. Someone had cut off the head and the rattler. What a creepy sight!
After reaching the top of Beaver Rim, we enjoyed a five mile descent to Sweetwater Station, WY. The town got its name when the mule carrying the sugar supply for a wagon train took an unfortunate tumble into the river. Today, it’s not much more than a gas station and bar. As we stopped for drinks and snacks, a motorist asked how we liked climbing up the Rim. Randall said, “What I like about it was that it kept going up.” He wasn’t trying to be a smart aleck. He meant that we did not climb 200 ft and then lose 100 ft in elevation. The climb was a steady up until it ended.
We had tried earlier in the day to phone the motel in Jeffrey City as it was the only motel between Lander and Rawlins, WY. Our call reached an answering machine with the prerecorded machine voice saying, “Please leave a message.” We were wanting to confirm its existence as some people in Lander said there wasn’t a motel, while others said there was. Camping was an option but the two campsites listed did not provide water or toilets, let alone showers. The clerk at Sweetwater Station said the motel did exist and we later were able to confirm that with a second phone call. Heading on down the road, we just needed to bike the 19 miles to Jeffrey City, which was mostly flat with a gentle decline. With tired legs, we made very good time as we reached our destination within 90 minutes. Along the way, we saw horses, pronghorn and mountains off in the distance. One sign we came across was very noteworthy. It was noting that four historic trails crossed over in this area: Oregon Trail, California Trail, Mormon Pioneer and the Pony Express. When you see how remote and barren this region is, you really begin to appreciate the challenges of the western migration!
Jeffrey City’s population is listed as 106, but it is big enough to have a cafe, bar, motel and post office. We had enough time to stop for grilled ham and cheese sandwiches at the cafe before checking in at the motel. The motel was a small operation with 18 rooms but it appeared that only eight were used regularly. There were only three rooms occupied that night. We heard later that the couple that ran it were in their eighties and were trying to sell the operation. It was a clean, comfortable place with lots of hot water at a price that was not much more than staying at a campground. It was a much appreciated stopping place before our big day ahead.

We set our sights on a huge riding day as we hoped to get to Saratoga, WY today despite it being 110 miles away. It was a very lofty goal as we had never intentionally cycle-toured a hundred-plus miles in a day. There were previous rides where the circumstances forced us to exceed the century mark. We had the generous offer of a vacation home in Saratoga and planned to make this an extended stay to get caught up on the website.
This website updating seems to be a reoccurring theme. We have been able to bike the miles we expected if not a bit more each day, but we did not realize how much time it would take to maintain our website. We wanted to document our travels in a timely manner as after a while, the days run together and all the wonderful details can be lost. So this Saratoga stay would be an opportunity to take the extra time needed to catch up.
To cover this distance, we started at 5:30 AM, with just a touch of daylight in the sky. Just four miles into the ride, we passed another milestone: 3,550 miles, which is halfway into our projected total mileage of 7,100. It was still a bit on the dark side for photos so we waited until we got to Split Rock for the photo op (at 3,556 miles). It is hard to believe that having gone through only six states/territories/provinces (while having nine states to go), that we are half way through. This is a testament to the sheer size of the northwestern area of North America. It is enormous and at times, hard to capture in words or photos.
As typical for when we travel early in the morning, we had increased critter sightings. We saw rabbits and a coyote. There were numerous pronghorns as well with some of them actually near the road. Since they are unable to jump over the fence, they ran and slid under the bottom barb wire. What a sight to see them scamper! We realized that for the 22 miles we biked to Muddy Gap, we had seen more critters than cars (seven).
With a nice tailwind and a gradual downhill, we reached the service area of Muddy Gap at 7:40 AM. We stopped for microwaved ham and cheese sandwiches and donuts. Sometimes, breakfast is what you make it. The operator said she saw us biking on the road and at first was not sure if we were wildlife or a biker so she slowed down for us. She also noted that she normally did not open up until 8 AM but that she was unable to sleep so she decided to come in early.
Continuing mostly south on Highway 287, we pedaled through Muddy Gap pass at 6,250 ft without knowing its location; it was not marked. About eight miles later, we reached our first Continental Divide crossing of the day. The climb was fairly gradual but since they added a passing lane, there must have been something to it. We were having difficulty determining where the divide actually was. One interruptive sign we saw in Canada told how surveyors carefully traced streams to their sources to determine where the divide was. Here in arid Wyoming, it must have been even more difficult to determine. Fortunately, there was a sign to identify the Continental Divide (at 6,720 feet). Soon after the crossing we entered the small town of Lamont. We stopped at Grandma’s Cafe for some iced tea and pie, but did not feel the need for a full meal.
Back on the road, we had about 21 miles to go for the second Continental Divide crossing today. We expect this one will have a bit more climbing than the last, but together they shouldn’t equal the challenge of Beaver Rim the day before. At one of our rest stops by the side of the road, a car stopped in front of us and then slowly backed up to meet us. Hmmm, what is this? Two women got out and one had granola bars in her hand to give to us. They had just finished an organized bike ride in Montana and felt compelled to assist us since we were traveling on our own. They kept asking us if there was anything we needed. With tubes and patch kits, they were said to be well stock with bike parts in their car. We were pretty well equipped ourselves but we did accept a tube which was actually a bit narrow for our size tires.
Well rested by now, we hopped on our tandem and continued our quest to the second divide. After four miles, another car pulled in front of us. A woman got out and waved for us to stop. She asked if we wanted some ice water. The ice from our last stop had already melted, so we said, “Sure.” She got our her ice chest and began to determine the best way to get the ice cubes into our bottles. Scooping with the bottle didn’t work too well. She looked at her hands and said, “They’re almost clean.” We replied that after being on the road more than two months, our cleanliness standards had changed. She scooped up enough ice to fill Barb’s bottle and Randall’s Camelbak and then offered us some cherries. Feeling refreshed from all of the roadside assistance, we continued the climb.
The first three miles to the second divide crossing was a moderate climb at 4 to 5 percent grade. We went nonstop and when we had advanced the three miles, the climb leveled out a bit but we then realized that we were still climbing. As the road bend twice, we had two additional miles of 2 to 3 percent grade to climb. Again, it was difficult to determine when we had reached the top by appearances alone. A sign removed all doubt and told us that this Continental Divide was at 7,174 feet. We counted the two crossings today as numbers, twelve and thirteen.
Once we crested, we felt the west wind at our side. We descended into Rawlings, a town of over 8,000 people. We stopped at two electronics stores to inquire about a new battery for our Palm computer, but no luck. As we headed out of town on Highway 30, we spotted a Wendy’s restaurant where we had dinner before leaving town. With the wind being out of the west most of the day, we were looking forward to heading east. Unfortunately, the wind seemed to have diminish. Just outside of Rawlins, we biked by a herd of domestic buffalo. Our route took us on Highway 76 to Sinclair, WY, where appropriately, we biked by a Sinclair oil refinery. We thought it a bit odd though that the prominent service station just beyond the town was operated by Philips 66.
Now our route did something that went against everything our mothers ever taught us: it went onto Interstate 80. Biking on the interstate is legal in some western states because there is no alternative. There was a wide shoulder so we weren’t right next to traffic, but still, it felt odd. Many of the trucks pulled into the left lane to give us even more room, which we appreciated as there was the occasional thrown rock. Rocks thrown at those highway speeds can do some damage. The shoulder we biked on had a rough concrete surface which increased our rolling resistance. We had a bit of a climb during this segment so it took us about 80 minutes to bike the interstate. Like any interstate, the scenery was bland. We don’t promote riding on an interstate highway, legal or not, as it is just not as fun as the back roads.
After 13 miles on I-80, we exited at Walcott, WY and discovered we had a flat front tire. Perhaps the rough shoulder on the interstate highway caused a pinch flat? We pulled into a service station area and changed the tube. We couldn’t identify the leak location in the tube, so it may have been a slow leak. After getting some drinks and snacks, we headed south on Highway 130. It was now about 7:00 PM and we had some climbing to do and 21 miles to go to reach Saratoga. We soon met a young man biking north. He pulled over to our side of the road to tell us about the hot springs in Saratoga. “It’s open all night,” he proclaimed. He was from Italy and was biking the TransAmerica route. He kept looking over his left shoulder as he was trying to escape the rain storm in Saratoga. We gave each other regards for a safe journey and then hurried on to our destinations.
The sky to the west was dark with storm clouds and the west wind was blowing again (and, of course, we were headed south). We covered a few more miles before the rain started and we stopped to put on our rain jackets. We couldn’t get our jackets on fast enough as the rain was just pouring and blowing sideways. The wind increased to a fierce 40 mph and the rain was pelting our legs (it felt like dozens of pins hitting our legs). We were being blown nearly across the center line. We have been in some rough weather in our past biking experiences but this storm was leaving us with a lasting impression! Fortunately, the passing vehicles were giving us lots of room.
After ten minutes of heavy rain, it begin to diminish. Then, we heard a loud pop. Our rear tire was flat! With the rain still coming down at half speed, this was not a nice time to have a flat . We stopped and changed both the tire and the tube. We had planned to change the tire in Saratoga but instead, we slipped on the new tire without hesitation. Why? We were not going to spend time checking the old tire for problems. We got the trailer back on and the tire changing tools put away and were ready to start again. But wait, the front tire was also flat. Wow, was it the road, the rain or just bad luck? Again, we opted to change both the tire and the tube. As we stood in the rain and wind, Randall said, “I hope you are not loosing spirit.” Barb replied, ” I have lots of spirit; I’m praying as hard as I can!” We had started early in the morning, battled headwinds and crosswinds, crossed two divide crossings, trekked through a storm, fixed three flats and biked a huge number of miles, but we still had spirit.
For half of the 21 miles to Saratoga, we had to climb up and up and finally we crested and biked downhill into Saratoga. It was 9 PM when we reached the city limits and we were now relying on the street lights and our bike light to see the way. A boy on his bike saw our tandem and yelled, “Wow! How cool!” We stopped at a gas station to ask to see a map so we could find our way in the dark. The station attendant was most helpful. We had a small hill to climb to get to the private vacation house. As we arrived at the right street, a large deer darted into the trees. We initially went a couple of houses too far and could not find the key as it was explained to us. Barb went back to check another house and found the key. All this was done using our bike light as a flash light. We were waiting for the police to show up and haul us away. Once inside, we were able to shower and recover from the long day. We called Barb’s sister and asked her to ship us two new tires and several new tubes as we had used up our supply.
Miles cycled – 111.9
August 3 – 5, 2004
It was wonderful to sleep in after the long day of riding. We awoke to find a beautiful view of the sun rising above the Snowy Mountain Range. The picture windows in the back of the house gave us a wonderful panorama of the outdoors. Below the mountains was a golf course and immediately behind the back yard was a wooded area. All this was too dark to see when we arrived last night, so it was quite a treat to view now. Later, we would see deer walk across the lawn and in the woods beyond.
As we prepared to bike into town for breakfast and supplies, Barb’s sister called to say that FedEx would not accept the address we gave her. We called the local post office and found that there was no home delivery; all received mail is placed in post office boxes. We asked if we could we get a package from Kansas to Saratoga in one day. The answer was no, because the US postal service did not fly into town. Even express mail took two days. So, we had Susan ship to the local post office via US mail and added a day to our layover in Saratoga.
We biked to Mom’s Diner for breakfast and got a couple of huge cinnamon rolls to go. While there, we heard “Mom” tell another customer that business was down 50% from four years ago. Because of this another business owner opted to not open this spring and put his business up for sale. There was a help wanted sign in the diner’s window, so if tourism returned to previous levels, many places would not have the staff to accommodate the extra customers. We stopped at the Laundromat to wash our sleeping bags. We figured they were due for a washing after 3,500 miles and that required a commercial front-loading washer. While Barb tended to the sleeping bags, Randall walked to the beauty saloon for a haircut as there was no barber shop in town. He also visited the local Radio Shack. There, the clerk urged him to talk to the local paper about our adventure. The Saratoga Sun published on Wednesdays. Being Tuesday, the staff was busy trying to get the paper out. We said we would be in town for a couple of days so we set up an appointment for 11:00 AM the next day. We then biked to the grocery store and got enough food to last for three days. Our trailer was packed full of food for the ride to the house.
It was so nice having the use of a private home. This comfortable ranch house belonged to Jack and Peg. His sister is Marian, Barb’s good friend who sheltered us for five nights after we vacated the home we sold in Michigan. She even drove us to the airport for our early flight to Fairbanks. Now her brother, who we had only talked to by phone, had offered us his vacation home. What a family! Jack and Peg pilot their own plane. He and Peg discovered the charm of Saratoga on one of their “hundred dollar breakfasts” where they would fly somewhere to eat. We had many “breakfast run” spots in Michigan ourselves, but fortunately biking there didn’t cost nearly that much. The Saratoga airport was busy with many private aircraft landing while we were there. It was recently expanded to accommodate a Boeing 737, (but the US postal service apparently was not aware of this). Jack said a rancher from Dubois would fly to the airport where he kept a smaller aircraft. He would use the smaller aircraft to fly over his nearby ranch, checking to be sure the cattle were all OK.
On Wednesday, the reporter from the Sarasota Sun arrived by bicycle. She took some pictures of us with our gear and then we sat down at the table to talk about our adventures for 90 minutes. The reporter sent a copy of the newspaper to Barb’s sister. It was a nice, lengthy article with lots of details. Except for calling us “the Randalls” in the last paragraph, she got the facts straight.
On Thursday, Jack came up from Denver to meet us. The weather was threatening with thunderstorms predicted, so instead of doing a one hour flight, he drove up (three and a half hours). He took us out to the Wolf Hotel, where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. We also made stops at the post office (to pick up our package of bike supplies and to ship out unused items) and at the Saratoga Hot Springs. We had a pleasant time getting to know one another better.

One of the Muslimgauze albums the world was waiting for, Beirut Transister is among the more organic and ‘Arab’ of releases and bound to compliment any fan’s collection. Fundamentally in the traditional-ethno-percussive camp of the Muslimgauze oeuvre, the core style is raqs sharqi/baladi (traditional belly dancing) and is at home with titles like Observe With Sadiq Bey and especially Jebel Tariq. Though tracks can be recognized from parts of the latter, these are alternate versions and where Jebel is a continuous set, each track on Beirut stands alone. This album delves into raqs sharqi/baladi as tempo and density of rhythm shift from simpler patterns to vigorous cascades of lush layered tabla that vary from song to song and charm the listener.
Few artists can deconstruct and reassemble centuries-old tradition, then edit it into near seamless perfection while not falling into musical cliche. For instance, “Find Yugoslav butcher of Muslims”arranges a percussive raqs sharqi ensemble into hip hop style beats with raunchy oud, that still sounds fresh and exciting. Another editing marvel is how field recording samples are choreographed with the obsessive detail of a radio drama and brings a strong sense of narrative. While the tablas bring kinetic energy, Arab voices intone religious recitation; call brusquely over megaphones while women and men sing or murmur dimly in backgrounds. Not stopping there, additional ethno-instrumentation such as reeds, lute fragments and chorus’ of other Mid-Eastern winds ornament the tracks. “Soufaf in Gulf” transports one into dusty Arab villages and markets (perhaps even in south Lebanon) as the ambient clop-clopping of passing horses and rushing shrill play of children mingle with melodica loops and artfully placed car horns and megaphone calls. A further detail is the infusion of roots reggae dub elements such as the occasional tight melodica loops, staggered-echo-instrumental bits, and then the bass…
It is the bass that deserves special mention as it is unlike most Muslimgauze releases. Whereas bass coils like an anaconda through albums like Remixs 1, 2 and 3 and Cobra Head Soup, it powerfully tremors through Beirut Transister like a force of nature. Few Muslimgauze recordings have the bass so powerfully pronounced; melodic, yet massively shifting like tectonic plates. A case in point is “Egyptian Song Contest” where a short Arabic phrase prefaces provocative metallic hand drum textures and relentless earthquake bass and screeching shortwave radio feedback. The masters for Beirut Transister were submitted in 1998, at the zenith of the late Bryn Jones’ technical skill where he no longer was influenced by styles so much as ‘owning’ and then and spawning his own. Abu Dub Step Bryn Jones, father of dubstep, is still the unparalleled master and this is one of the summits. (Ibrahim Khider , author of Muslimgauze: Chasing the Shadow of Bryn Jones)
