July 17 Ride

Imagine Heaven on Earth…what it would look like, feel like and smell like. You probably wouldn’t imagine a trashy little smoke filled bar in the middle of nowhere, with a broken down gas pump in the middle of the gravel parking area. Well, the 100 and something miles it took to get to the Shot Gun Café, along with the juicy cheeseburgers and homemade fries when we arrived were just that…heaven. We rode up the Rexburg Bench and cut over to Teton, then rode to the Grand Tetons and cut north on highway 32 through Felt, then north to Mesa Falls on highway 47 to Island Park. Then Jeff (Rexburg MS bean-counter, throttle-freak) lead us, going mach 100 to the Shot Gun Café so we would make it before they shut off the dining area at 9pm. I played a round of pool and had one of the best burgers I’ve ever put down…and I’ve put down a few.
