Today we got a late start from the camp. I guess the sleeping pill Hillard took last night really worked! We finally departed the KOA at 9:30 MST after waiting for Cliff and Gary to show…they were to meet us there so we could go to breakfast. They didn’t show so we went into town and saw them at the USP store. Gary was shipping his laptop home…too bulky and didn’t use it on the trip. Hillard couldn’t find his wallet so we went back to the cabin and there it was, laying under the bed.

After a quick bite to eat went to see Devils Tower in Wyoming. Amazing site to see. This was in the movie Close Encounters. Pretty cool. From there we headed back to I-90 to make up for the lost time in the morning. We ran 90 all the way to Sheridan, WY. From there we took Hwy 14 to the Big Horn Mountains. That was one of the absolute coolest place I have ever been.  The views were amazing.  There was still a lot of snow on the peaks. The temps went from the upper 70′s around 5,000 ft to middle 40′s at 9,500 ft and several feet of snow. The views were too much for words. Mark this down as one of the roads to travel in your lifetime.

We arrived at Cody, WY just before sundown. After 430 miles today we were too tired to setup tents. Plus we are spoiled with the KOA cabins.

Tomorrow we plan to ride the Beartooth Pass up in to Montana. However, there are reports of an avalanche that has the road closed. We shall see tomorrow. They are also calling for rain and snow on the pass as well as Yellowstone.  How much snow will determine if we ride those areas.

Total mileage so far: 1,905

That’s all for now…I am exhausted!  I’ll try to add some pics in the morning.
