I wanted to respond sooner -
But I had to finish the bag of Doritos
And the carton of Haagen Daz.

Yep - I've put off two long tours - in 2020 & 2021.
After two serires of treatments, I have very low white blood counts.
So, I have no desire to play Russian roulette.

I've hosted quite a few Warmshowers cyclists.
Most said that Yellowstone was a total zoo this year.
Heard similar comments about Glacier.
Limited facilities combined with a record number of visitors.
Not the best of cycling conditions.

Also, in case you did get really sick -
So you really want to be in a tent out in the parking garage -
in some small town hospital in Mississippi?
Or worse, two weeks in the Pine Breeze Motel?

Another question -
Where would you stay if you got moderately sick?
Not sick enough to be in the hosptal,
but too sick to be riding.
Would a motel even let you stay?
