| Home sweet home. (photo from May, from the day we left home to start our trip.) Home after 2700 miles and seven weeks on bikes, and another 5800 miles and three weeks in the car. An extraordinary adventure. Lucky to be alive and lucky to have had the adventures. Takk for i dag. |

| Yellowstone bison plodding up the road. |
 |
| The bison changed lanes, and was now on the right side of our car, not the left. |
 |
| Terry was driving. Mari rolled down the window and took this picture, hoping the bison wouldn't try to bite her through the car window. |
 |
| The bison didn't pay any attention. We were glad we were not on bikes and that close to a bison. |
 |
| Different road, different bison. Same thrill. |
 |
| It was exciting enough to be this close to a bison in the car. Can't imagine what it would have felt like to have been on the bikes. Yikes. |
 |
| Yellowstone River, right before the falls. |

| We met two sets of cyclists. Josh and Laura, center, are from MIT and were cycling from New York to Seattle. Skot and Ben, on the ends, were cycling from the Oregon coast near Florence to Virginia. We spent almost an hour on the porch of a lodge near the Tetons, swapping stories and food. Very fun to be with them. |

| Skot and Ben's terrific saddle bags--big buckets. |
