Wyoming











Wyoming is everything I expected and more. It is so beautiful. They still have snow in some areas which is neat to see from a distance. We are hearing that some areas in Yellowstone still have 8' of snow on the high mountains, sure hope we miss that. It was 70 degrees last night going into a dinner show and when we came out it was 47 degrees. The picture with the low clouds is the cold front that came in.

Funny Story







We meet these girls (Chancy & Ashley sisters on a road trip from Maryland to Oregon) on Needles Hwy, S.D. were they locked their keys in their car. Jeff helped them break into their car using their antenna. While in Cody, Wyoming we ran into them again at the Rodeo, we all couldn't believe it. They were so much fun to hang out with (Tyler sure enjoyed them). They are also heading to Yellowstone so we are wondering if we will run into them again.

Cody, Wyoming







Famous Cody Wyoming Rodeo! We all had so much fun! Tyler and I sat on "Hollywood" was much different then a horse's back. This horse came out of the shoot and bucked twice and went right on the ground on top of the rider. He was ok.



























Wild Horse Sanctuary

This is a post office used during the Pony Express. Stage Coaches would stop here and rest. They would camp in the mountain area where Tyler is standing.


This was over looking some of the most beautiful land


Mother mustang letting her baby nurse. We were right there next to them. So cool.



This was really cool. We took a 3 hour tour. This land has NEVER been owned by the government some of the land is being leased from the Lakota Indians. Some much Indian history on this land. There was wild mustangs (you can see one nursing), Spanish horses and some rescue horses. They had some Quarter horses for breeding to sell foals for income. We took a jeep tour across 12,000 acres of stunning land. There was an area where the Lakota Indians still do their Indian dances and rituals.

Crazy Horse ~ Wind Cave

This is Crazy Horse. They are carving this out of the mountain. No government support at all. It is all being done on donations. Pretty Neat to see the process.
We went into Wind Cave. It is the 4th largest cave. It was 52 degrees in there. A lot of cool formations. Tyler enjoyed going through this cave.








Custer State Park S.D.











Custer State Park Wildlife Loop. We had so much fun going through this park. We saw a lot of wildlife.

Mules loved our trail mix. They were ready to climb in the windows, all we could do was laugh.
