Swan Valley to Manila
Again, out early without the benefit or desire really for breakfast. That attitude changed about 61 miles south at Heggs Cafe in Afton Wyoming. We spoke of a light meal but alas fell prey to cowboy portions of pancakes, bacon, sausage and coffee and that was only mine. After some bumpy, some smooth, some Idaho, some Wyoming and Utah we hauled into Fossil Butt National Monument and were once again a little awed by the willingness of the federal government to spent lavishly on shrines to natural history and the splendid results. On to Flaming Gorge Reservoir, that jewel of the man made West, where inserted ourselves in a spot to behold. Awning up doing a fine job, down to the water for the obvious, watching the fish hawks and antelope play, on the bike to check the price of this place for the night I heard a loud crack-thump and turned to see an adult osprey plumment straight down from a power line to earth. I set the bike aside and walked to a randomly burned and clearly dead bird. As the guy said, sitting across the field in the shade thrown by his rv, “At least it was quick.”
