Day 16!

Hardin, MT to Sheridan, WY - 86.8 miles, 6:18

Today's ride was long, but pretty flat and easy for 80+ miles. We left Hardin and rode a frontage road parallel to I-90 most of the day. Barb and I rode together the whole day.

Something we never see at home: Trains pulling dozens of cars filled with coal. We saw several of these.

Most of our ride south of Hardin to the Montana-Wyoming border was through the Crow Indian Reservation. We passed by a park dedicated to veterans.


The Little Big Horn River meandered next to us most of the day.


An interesting old grain elevator:

Welcome to Wyoming! As soon as we crossed into Wyoming, cows were happily mooing, deer played, and life became just that much easier.


Since I was starving, Barb and I made a detour into the little town of Ranchester, WY for a snack. Here's a picture from that town for Halla!
Mark, Amy, and Nick (our support crew) deserve a special thanks today for taking such good care of all the riders. Thank you!

Be careful in Wyoming, I got a speeding ticket there. The good news is that I just paid the cop... hmmmm. Looks like you are still doing awesomely and I don't know what you'll do with yourself when you finally come home. Love the text and pictures.

Every time you cross a state line you are smiling! Is it that because you are getting further away from those "dear" little children?

Oh! Are you going by the Devil's Tower in WY?

Anyway, I like those smiles. Keep 'em coming.
