The journey to Yellowstone start on June 1 and consisted of 12 hours, 6 states, and nearly 800 miles. The highlights were numerous, including the mighty mississippi, the arch of st. louis, and numerous "funfacts" from my co-pilot Bill. We stayed in columbia MO as we rested up for the next leg of our journey. Day 2 consisted of much of the same. 12 hours. Numerous states. Nearly 800 miles. Funfacts. The excitement did pick up, however, as we noticed that we were approaching history. The ole QX4 was encroaching on 200,000 miles. I never thought, as i'm sure those of you who have ridden with me would agree, that the ole infiniti would make it to 200k. But nevertheless, as we approached the NE/WY state line, it happened.
What made the moment even more special was that a representative from the great state of NE, a member of nebraska's finest, was there to celebrate with us. Thats right, I got pulled over for going 83 in a 75. No worries, though, as I escaped with only a warning and a great memory
As we arrived at our final destination of Laramie WY, we were greeted with rain, dense fog, and 37 degree weather. Time to lose the shorts and tshirts i guess. We have high hopes for the last leg of our journey, a roughly 350 mile trip through WY, with plans to arrive in Yellowstone in the afternoon.

Hi Jordy, Great pictures. Mallorie is correct you are a great photographer. How was the elk meet? Your Dad made it home safely. I checked out all his pictures on our way home. He was thrilled with the experience and was glad to be able to see where you will be for the next few months. Glad to know the ole QX is still holding up for you. I can't wait to see this fabulous place in person. I bet you thought I wouldn't be able to figure this blogging thing out. Life is full of surprises (ha ha). I can't believe it is snowing in June. Stay warm on the hikes. Take a picture of the horse you take out for your trail work, hopefully it will not be Nip. I will check the blog often so keep the news a coming. Don't forget to use the bear bell. Yes it might help you never know. Soak up the experience, it is a chance of a lifetime. Stay safe. I love you, Mom
