Day 19, Back in the Saddle on the Aluminum Horse

Gitty up and away we go from Big Springs, ID to Flagg Ranch, WY.  From the look of the maps it looked like a doable 83.5 miles, well it was doable, just took longer than we anticipated.  We rode for 9 1/2 hours out of the 12 hours we were on the road.  It was a loong hot day about 80 degrees.  Got a great view of the Western side of the Tetons, after riding on soft cinder, washboarded rail trail.  So we are riding along and suddenly here comes a Jeep, backing up the rail trail with an Florida State University bumper sticker.  So to all you FSU fans (Amy S.), the only thing I reckon caused this person to drive onto a rail trail and reach a point that they were no longer able to drive was that they must be so educated that they could only read word signs and not signs with pictures on it, such as the rail trail sign.  I will have to look more into this, in my spare time.  So along the way, were told that there had been some bear sightings, well I had gotten rid of the obnoxiously loud, annoying sounding horn that was given to me at work and replaced it with yelling "hey Bear."  Well, we thought we would change it up a bit and started yelling "Peanuts, Popcorn, Crackerjacks" and "Ice Cold Beer" as well as "Free Beer."  Then realized that we may get some business by the locals, as this is the middle of nowhere and if I heard people yelling this I just might grab my money pouch and head out to see what I could get.
