Our camp, Sunday morning. |
|
|
We awake Sunday morning to find Further investigation reveals that it's just Transglobal Adventurer Helge Pedersen, cowering from mosquitos. |
|
|
Sunday morning, breaking camp. We all regret leaving this place. |
|
|
Sunday Morning. Chris is riding, but he hasn't woken up yet. |
|
|
Good morning Perry! |
|
|
Nick, near Boiling Lake. This is a beautiful place, and it's open only for a few months in the summer. The rest of the time it's buried in snow. (Altitude 7200ft) |
|
|
Chris has woken up and is starting to appreciate the basin. Too bad the exit climb to Horesehead Pass is only 1/2 mile away..... |
|
|
Nick gets some help on the third switchback ascending Horsehead Pass. Helge looks down the hill at the switchbacks already conquered. |
|
|
Switchback 3: Chris and Perry find that it's not easy to assist a Norwegian who intends to "do it himself." |
|
|
Switchback 3: Chris and Perry stand back as Helge muscles and finesses 450 lbs of BMW up Horsehead Pass. It's a good thing he stopped in at Ride West BMW for a bashplate before this trip. |
