Into the Shadow of the Mountain

Today we got our first glimpse of the Big Horn Mountains.  They were right in front of us for almost the entire ride today, and we got almost right next to them today.  Tomorrow's ride will follow the mountains north, and then we will head straight over them two days from now.  The team is excited but a little nervous to resume climbing real mountains again.  The team arrived in town early today and most of us went to a local shop to get some ice cream.  The church that we are staying at tonight, St. Luke's Episcopal, was kind enough to provide some pizzas for dinner tonight, so the team will head to bed with full stomachs tonight.
