Our best laid plans have changed before we have even started. The risk we took leaving this time of year through the Rockies is exactly what has happened.  Mother Nature decided to send a late season storm with heavy wet snow forecast for the very pass (Togwotee) that we will be riding over on day one. Betsy and I decided that discretion was the better part of valor and have pushed out our departure from Moran Junction, Wyoming by one day.  We will now leave on Sunday, May 27 and try to sneak over the Continental Divide on the tail of this storm. 

Due to time constraints, we're leaving from Moran Junction, WY rather than Ontario, OR.  Our final destination is Richmond Hill, GA at Jason and Meg's house (our son, daughter-in-law).  Unless we wanted to end in Arkansas instead of Georgia we needed to get Idaho behind us first. We are driving to Jackson Hole early in the morning with Lung, Cheri and Ashlyn (our "adopted" kids).  Sunday morning the 27th of May, rain, snow, or sunshine we depart on our excellent adventure.
