Ryan called from Coulter Bay in the Tetons last night. He spent 4 days travelling through Yellowstone National Park. Despite a short bout of stomach flu, he said that Yellowstone was the best part of his trip thus far, and he would love to come back to visit the wilderness areas more.
He never did get to the rodeo in Ennis, as he had a mishap with a water sprinkler and his tent.  However he did relay that farther along he had an interesting chat with someone who was revisiting Lewis and Clark's journey with a homemade dugout canoe. Ryan got to paddle in the canoe.
(Hopefully Ryan will get to post pictures at a later date.  The library internet was down in West Yellowstone so he never got to post his blog there.)
He has met many friendly people along the way.
He has been enjoying his trip a lot and it's fueling the fires for other adventures he hopes to have in the future.
