Day 19 Cameron to West Yellowstone Montana

August 27, 2008

Miles today - 64
Miles total - 1142
Elevation climbed - 2774 feet
Elevation at West Yellowstone - 6400 feet
Average speed - 8.9 mph
Ride time 7 hours 10 mins

We left Cameron early trying to beat the winds; unsuccessfully. We fought fierce headwinds for about four hours down the Madison Valley. We averaged about 5 to 6 mph.  There was no services for about 40 miles, nowhere to rest out of the wind.

Entering into Yellowstone NP tomorrow and weather is improving.
