RE: Monday, July 25. It is noon (Mountain Time) on Tuesday, and I have finally been able to get a short--and choppy--phone message to my mom to post. As you can imagine, cell service is very limited in many parts of the West and definitely in the mountains. For that reason, we weren't able to call home last night.

Yesterday we traveled west on Highway 16 out of Buffalo, Wyoming. Shortly after leaving Buffalo, Brandon and I started our ascent of the southern Big Horn Mountains. The Big Horns are ruggedly beautiful. The weather conditions have dramatically changed--it rained all day and night and the temperature was under 50 degrees. (On Sunday we were walking in 100+ degree weather.)

By the end of the day we had logged 26 miles. In the evening we met some people from a youth camp who graciously invited us to share dinner with them in their cabin. We enjoyed our meal with them. Because of legal reasons, we unfortunately couldn't sleep in their cabin. So we set up our tent at a camp site that evening.

It is tough going through these mountains. We have 40 miles before we get to the next town which is Ten Sleep, Wyoming. Wilderness surrounds us, and we have been told there will be few businesses until we get to Ten Sleep. Somewhere down the road, there are some camping sites that we will try to reach tonight.

Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and have followed our progress. We appreciate your interest and hope you're enjoying traveling with us through the West.
