Good Evening from our last gorgeous night in Wyoming!

Today was a good day. A very good day. We got up, ate breakfast, went to see Cheyenne, and then hit the road for our longest day yet of riding. Let me tell ya honey, we went about 500 miles today, and my thighs are FEELING IT!!!!!!!!!!!

It was very warm in the city -- in the upper 80's, so we only wore short sleeves and took a sweatshirt. Silly us... silly, silly us! It was cold as a monkey's uncle when we started up those mountains. Ill prepared as usual (ha!), we almost froze to death. There was snow -- yes friends, you read that correctly, I did say SNOW -- on the ground, and we could see our own breath with every gasping shudder we took. It was beautiful. The most beautiful place we've seen yet - no doubt. The skys were beautiful. The snow was beautiful. Everything in Colorado was beautiful.

I forgot to share yesterday that we saw a bunch of buffalo (no joke!)on the side of the road yesterday. There must have been about 35 or so of them. They are so big and pretty. And, they stood right up by the fence, posing beautifully for my photographs. :)

My lil' genious took ANOTHER wrong turn today and set us back about two hours. I have no sense of direction, but Ricky usually does. This cold weather must be taking a toll because I think his internal GPS needs to go to the shop! :)

We saw more and even more of those antelope today. We maybe saw 87 of them at least (seriously) just on the side of the road. Their population is as much as our North
Carolina squirrels!! We also saw praire dogs heck yeah!

I will finally be posting the pictures from Colorado and Wyoming at some point in the next few hours at http://photobucket.com/rickyandamy so check that often for updates.

This morning, Ricky and I met some English people staying in our hotel. They said a lot of rich people own Harley Davidson's and as a result, said to Ricky "so, you're rich then?" HA! We are not!! :) They also wanted to know about our "crash hats" or helmets, and I thought that was super duper cute!

Thanks for the feedback and for spending time at work (ha!) or home to read this blog. You're the best!!!

Amy and Ricky
