Our day started with a 6:30 a.m. (Mountain time) interview with the guys from Free Beer and Hot Wings Show. It is always fun to talk to them and share our experiences as we travel across the USA.

After getting a little more sleep and then taking care of some work on the computer, we got back on the road. Our sleeping bags have been getting wet and were quite uncomfortable this week. So, before leaving Cody, we stopped at a store and bought waterproof sleeping bag covers. We think this will take care of that problem. Brandon and I also visited the Cody WalMart SuperCenter to replenish our supplies before we got back on the road.

Today we enjoyed the scenery of the Buffalo Bill State Park. Brandon and I also walked through tunnels; now that was not a fun experience since there wasn't a shoulder. When a car would come by, I would move the stroller up on the embankment to avoid getting hit. Anyways, we made it through safely and found it to be just one more new experience along our route.

After walking 24 miles, we decided to stop and get a good night's sleep at a small, cozy motel called the Green Creek Inn in Wapiti, Wyoming. This small town is between Cody and Yellowstone National Park.

Brandon and I are excited to get to Yellowstone tomorrow. Yes, we will be cautious with our food and try to avoid the animals as we travel. While in Yellowstone we hope to spend a night with Brandon's friend, Jordan Harrison.

That's it for tonight from Wapiti, Wyoming.
