DAY FOUR

September 9, 2009

(continuing the blog adventures of looper cube across america)

Wapati - Cody (home of Buffalo Bill) - Greybull - BigHorn National Park - Gillette - WE ENTER SOUTH DAKOTA!- Spearfish to Rapid City

YEHAW!  we made it to Rapid City, SOUTH DAKOTA


"The long and winding road of Wyoming"

 

The looper cube followed the back-roads of Wyoming through Big Horn National park. rich red earths topped by green pastures. This is seriously cowboy country. There are layers of bug juice on the windshield. We traversed up to 9033 ft. Open range bulls gawked at the Cube. We are surrounded by cattle.  Sheila was seriously worried the CUBE was about to get skewered like shish-kabob by the Bull's horns.

A large heifer mooed at me (fiercely!) and ran off into the woods, kicking up clouds of dust.

 

Road construction led to some delays in the mountains. switch backs and steep grades winding down to open fields and more grazing pastures. Grain elevators in Grey Bull.  Relic murals of cowboys and indians. We also picked up a story book of famous gunfighters to tell some stories, from the folkloric history of these towns.

Wyoming and some real authentic country folk in the Uptown Cafe. Hunters welcome!  wow.

I am still a bit sad to miss the taxidermy shop.  BEARS!

 

We met back up with the I-90 east. Nice to pick up some speed.

 

AMAZING DELICIOUS PEACHES.

 

The locals find our accent funny.

 

YEEHAW! Dakota!
