Day 41 - Why-oming

Newcastle WY to Gillette, WY

Today's ride was pretty boring, we had cool but sunny weather, and the roads were a little hilly, but not too bad.  I got a flat, my first in a long time, so that slowed us down some, but other than that, the day was spent watching Wyoming go by.  This state is not as pretty as South Dakota so far, it mostly consists of dry grass and huge open expanses.  We didn't see any people for most of the day, and we saw our first traffic light 72 miles into the day, when we were already in Gillette.  All in all a boring day, we are hoping that tomorrow is more exciting, when we ride 70 more miles into Buffalo, WY.

Animals seen - One dead porcupine, a few pronghorns
