Last Summit Ride: Remembering Warmer Days
This morning the overnight low temperature was minus 12 degrees, Fahrenheit. The wind chill at that time was minus 26 degrees, Fahrenheit. The current temperature is 11 degrees, Fahrenheit.
I shouldn't complain. We had magnificent fall weather, and the winter temperatures have actually been much milder than normal. The following photographs were taken over a month ago, on the first of November. In the above photograph, the Grand Teton Range in Wyoming is visible on the horizon, directly over the bike's right hand guard. Here's a closeup photograph of Grand Teton Peak, which is 109 aerial miles distant from the motorcycle. With a normal winter snowfall, I won't be riding back to this summit until July.
