Getting Ready in Cody

Today we were biking from Greybull, Wyoming to Cody, Wyoming for a short 53 miles ride. The ride was very short so that we could do laundry and prepare for the ride into Yellowstone National Park and the upcoming event day. However, some of the groups encountered hailstorms in the early afternoon.Our afternoons and evenings were very productive and exciting! Some folks headed to get their laundry done while others hung out at various shops around town. We gathered together again for a delicious dinner cooked by our stayover hosts. We could not have been more delighted with the delectable treats. They even gave us brownies and ice cream for dessert! After dinner, the night got wild- a square dancing crew typically meets in the church on Monday nights, so we were invited to join in on the fun! All of the square-dancers were incredibly tolerant of our lack of skill and welcomed us with open arms (literally)! After we were all dead tired from the dancing, we headed to the grocery store to pick up some food for our camping time in Yellowstone tomorrow and Wednesday.A huge thanks to our stayover, Christ Episcopal Church, and the wonderful members who cooked us dinner! We also could not be more thrilled to have been included in the square-dancing activities tonight. This will definitely be a night to remember.
