Hail Storm

I usually do my blog posts in order; neatly and efficient. Today is a little different. This is only because I am so excited to tell you all that I am in a little library tucked in the woods of Idaho with Greg and Win, I can't even believe they have Internet.

The day began with a beautiful bike ride through a national forest and a hike down to a waterfall with a perfect "Lucky Charms" like rainbow. 10 miles later we sat down at a gas station for lunch where we found out our plans for tonight were not exactly nailed down. We are supposed to camp in Yellowstone tonight at a campsite that we have already reserved and paid for. Then the leaders found out that it was 40 miles into the park, and then they found out that it would cost us $400 altogether to get in, not $75. So after that little bump in the road everyone at lunch went crazy. How many miles are we biking today? How much will it cost? Will we see Old Faithful? How many minutes every hour does Old Faithful erupt? What if I don't want to camp out? Win, Greg and me just couldn't handle it so we biked on, but about 10 miles down the road it began to rain. We stopped and put our electronics away and that's when a little cafe caught our eye, we decided we would stay out of the rain and lightning and enjoy some hot cocoa. As soon as we stepped in the door of the cafe it began to pour and hail. The hail storm was unbelievable! We sat sipping our hot cocoa for about 30 minutes until the sun came out again. Soon enough our fellow bikers came down the road soaking wet, they apparently did not find shelter as we did. After making some clever jokes their way we continued on and we didn't even go two miles until we saw a sign that said "library." I looked to see where the arrow pointed and according to the sign there was a library off the highway in the middle of the woods. This we just had to check out. So here we are, in the middle of the woods in Idaho, using the Internet. 20 miles to go and we will be in West Yellowstone. Although i have no idea whether or not we are camping tonight or biking through the park or even seeing Old Faithful. Right now that really doesn't matter.
