Here we are in the same room we stayed in last night. Except this time we had to run to it. Matt's parents dropped us off this morning where we stopped the night before and it was about 35 miles back. What took us 30 minutes in a car took us hours and hours on our feet.
His parents brought us some subway for lunch and Matt had an emotional goodbye as they left us forever (what a baby). Their visit came just at the right time and I think it was just what we needed to rejuvenate ourselves and give us enough strength to make it to the coast.
We made quite a substantial change to our route today based on the advice of Les, the front desk worker at our hotel. He assured us that taking the southern route through the Bighorn Mountains would be a much better choice than our original plan. After closely reviewing both options, we took his advice and are ready to venture into the mountains tomorrow.
We had our third police officer in as many days stop us because of a report the had received. However, this time the report involved child abuse and not just looking like a woman.
Tonight we were treated to an absolutely breathtaking sunset. We had a perfect view of the mountains and with just enough clouds and the setting sun--beautiful. The scenery all day was great.
Well, I should probably get a good night's sleep because we are going to face some pretty steep climbs tomorrow and it will probably get pretty tough. Be sure to think of and pray for us in the next couple of days. We are so thankful for all the support.
Oh yeah, and enjoy the pictures.
