In the early summer of 2009 I bailed northbound on the Trans Am at Lander WY when weather forecasts where I was planning to be for the next 10 days promised continuing cold and rain. I hadn't seen much of the scenery through Colorado and wouldn't see much through Yellowstone and points north so it was easy to talk myself into packing up and flying home. I flew to Calgary later in the summer and started another tour, during which I experienced much better weather.
