Sasha and Jason are still doing well, and (they hope!) have seen the last of the snow for awhile. After much rerouting to get around impassable trails, they made their way through Idaho and are now heading through Wyoming.
Sasha first rode the Continental Divide when he was 16. He wanted to challenge himself again this summer, but also wanted his challenge to mean something more. He decided to turn his ride into a charity ride, supporting Pinnacle School and dyslexia. Sasha is incredibly passionate about the work he does at Pinnacle, and wants to raise money so Pinnacle can provide assistive technology to all of the students.
Assistive Adaptive technology can make learning more friendly to students with dyslexia, who learn better interactively. It is our hope that each student will have their own personal technology device to use during their tenure at Pinnacle. Please visit www.pinnacleschool.org and give today.
Here are three pictures from the trail.
Sasha and Jason stopped by Bannack, an old mining town in Montana. It was founded in 1862 after a major gold discovery. Bannack was a mining town until the last residents left in the 1970′s. 60 structures still remain in this ghost town including the school house, pictured below.

Sasha and Jason also saw a Grizzly bear and her cubs (going the other way, thanksfully!).

I’ll close with a view of the Grand Tetons from Sasha and Jason’s campsite.
