 late so im gonna make this quick. 

Ranchester/Dayton, WY was boring so I'll skip that.

The next day we rode over the Big Horn Mountains, which was insane.  We had an 18 mile climb that took us from about 3,500 feet to over 9,000 feet- not of fun, but the view from the top was beautiful.  When we got to the top, a bunch of us hiked even higher up the mountain to get to some snow... even more amazing view.  The descent was equally as awesome, 18 miles of straight downhill with the last 8 or so going through a canyon like I'd never seen before.

That night we stayed in Greybull where Saebin's family met up with us and made up a huge and delicious Korean BBQ

Today we Rode into Cody, WY, great town, though expensive.  We got in sort of early and then hit up the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, which has 4 different museums and lots of really cool stuff. I got my picture taken with the statue of Buffalo Bill- something I encourage all Bills fans to do.

Tonight we went to the rodeo, which was awesome and hilarious.  My first rodeo, so I was pumped. Bullriding, steer wrestling, calf roping, etc.

 I can't help but feel that I fit in around these parts.

Yellowstone tomorrow complete with a rest day, should be sweet.
