Last night in Wyoming!

The past few days I've spent in Wyoming have been much more pleasant than the last time I was in the state.
Last time I was in Wyoming, it was winter. There was snow everywhere. My brothers and I were driving a convertible LaBaron, pulling a small trailer. The interstate was closed, but they wouldn't let us turn around to find another route. We waited on the side of the interstate for nearly 2 and a half hours for road crews to plow the road. When they finally opened the road again, they had only plowed one lane. So, we drove in that lane, and the semis drove at 70 MPH in the unplowed lane, throwing mud and slush up onto our windshield. We tried to wipe it away, but it would only smear, making visibility even worse. So we tried windshield washer fluid. It was frozen. One time, when the mud and slush was so thick and smeared on our windshield, and the snow was really coming down hard, we were driving along and suddenly there was a stopped vehicle ahead of us. We couldn't stop, so we had to jump over into the unplowed lane. As luck would have it, there just happened to be a semi going over the speed limit in the lane we had just pulled into. As luck would further have it, there was another vehicle ahead of us. We slammed on the breaks, knowing that there was no way we could stop in time, or that the semi could stop in time. Somehow, (and I'm not exactly sure how) we didn't get hit or hit anyone. Not a pleasant experience.
Anyway, the worst thing I've had to deal with on this bike trip in Wyoming is the number of hills.
Thanks for reading!

Finally updated!

Alright, I know I haven't updated this since my second day, but give me a break! I've been biking all day, everyday for 25 days.
That excludes rest days.
Today, Friday, July 24th is the 26th day of my trip. It is currently a rest day. I am in Rapid City, South Dakota, and am pretty interested in seeing Mount Rushmore's evening lighting ceremony. I have seen Rushmore a couple of times before. Once during the day, and once during the night. I have never seen the lighting ceremony, however. Every time I see it I think 'Man! I should make something like that!' Unfortunately, even though I think I'm pretty good at coming through with whatever I set out to do, no one would believe that I could do something like that. I guess I'll just have to do it all by myself... :)
Tomorrow I bike to New Castle, Wyoming. It's about 78 miles, and my route goes right past Mt. Rushmore, so I should have a lovely (Albeit difficult) ride out of South Dakota. It's hard to believe I've been in this state for 5 days already! That won't be anything compared to the 8 days spent in Montana I'm sure!
Anyway, until next time!

Ps. I'm going to try to keep this thing updated better, and hopefully start uploading photos as well!
