Craig Colorado to Lander Wyoming



We left the Bear Valley Inn in Craig headin towards Yellowstone. After riding through some stunning scenery we approached the Interstate and headed east. As we neared Rawlins, Wyoming just at a off ramp to a Flying J service station Jordeane's bike ran out of gas. This was no problem because she has 2 gallons with her at all times. However when the gas was put in the battery was not quite able to start the bike so I headed up to the Flying J to kind a kindhearted person to give us a boost. Just to put our plight in perspective..the person who volunteered to help was there with his whole family and 4 dogs in a suburban and an old jeep.



They were moving from South Carolina to Courvallis Oregon and had an accident in Tennesee and the suburban and their trailer rolled so all their worldly possession were in their 2 vehicles and Paul and  Sherrie were waiting for some insurance money to come through and yet they were so very willing to help out. Continuing on our way we did stop at viewpoint looking over the wind river range and a gentleman from Colorado shared a home grown apple with us and it hit the spot.


We stopped in Lander for fuel and looking ahead there seemed to be a large storm so we opted to stay at the Frontier Lodge . It was very unique and really caught our eye.
