The good news is that Wyoming is getting prettier. The bad news is that we had 35+ mph winds today. Today was a shorter 58 mile day, but we were prepared to do quite a bit of climbing in the foothills of the Big Horns. Compared to the wind, the hills were the easy part. We battled crosswinds and headwinds all day, but we all kept a positive attitude. There was really no time during the ride that we could relax, but I am proud of us all for persevering and making the best of it. As someone said earlier, “If we can do that, we can do anything.”

We are staying at the Dayton Community Center. It is a very nice facility with lots of showers and a kitchen we could use. We made an early dinner and then went to look around the downtown area. It is small but very cute with various art galleries, a popcorn shop, diner, ice cream shop, and other stores.

Here’s to hoping for a less windy Wyoming tomorrow!
