Day Forty-Five: Coasting to Cody

Yesterday's climb through the Big Horns wore us out, but there's no rest for the weary on the 4K. We started another day with the sunrise:

The sunrise over the Wyoming plains. Another day begins!
Luckily, today was a much easier day than yesterday, but just as beautiful:
Views from the route. Wyoming is fantastic. Take a good look at the white, puffy clouds that hang over the mountains in the distance.
Tired, but determined, we made it to Cody, practically coasting compared to yesterday's climbing. We new we had to check out the rodeo that night, it was one of our last opportunities to catch a rodeo. The sun was setting as I arrived, and it was a beautiful sunset behind a mountain:

The sun sets over Cody, Wyoming.

My first time at a rodeo!
Tomorrow we head into Yellowstone. We're all really excited for it; it's supposed to be a beautiful ride. I'm excited to have more camping experience and opportunities for hiking. Who knows what new sights are to be found?

Yearning for Yellowstone,

Today's ride was dedicated to Maureen Moran, a beloved grandmother, mother, and wife who bravely battled with cancer. I never had the fortune of meeting her, but I have learned so much about her through her family. I can see the her light and love continuously weave itself into their lives.
