After the beautiful day of sights yesterday, Wayne and Ben decided to split the day biking. Wayne as usual was trying to get us moving for an early start but the couple from North Carolina visited us in the morning and Richard mentioned plastic litter so of course I had to show them the Chikumbuso bags. Norma bought one and Richard promptly put a World Bicycle Relief sticker on their truck. The delay gave Wayne the chance to look down on the ground for rocks and he found a small white pebble with a fleck of gold!?!
We left Ben still doosing in the camper, Wayne in the lead searching for more rocks. We followed the fast moving Wind River with the backdrop of the painted hills. The views continued for about 3 miles and yes Wayne found 2 more beautiful rocks each weighing about 5lbs each. He put one in his pocket and one in my front pouch and we travel 40 more miles in head winds and hilly terrain. Wayne was very happy to see Ben at the rest stop at the half way point. We traveled through the Wind River Indian Reservation and passed the Crowheart Butte were a battle took place between the Shoshoni and the Crow in the 1800's over land rights. We saw many horses along the way, one house had 2 standing next to the garage door, like parked cars. That would have been a great picture if I had the camera.
Ben decided to stay with Wayne to find the camp site and help with our 4th of July feast, fried chicken, corn on the cobb, macaroni salad and watermellon for dessert(no room) Since the fire was hot, they made some cornbread for the morning. Can't wait. Tomorrow 120 miles to Casper, we'll see how far we get after 87 miles today and 90 yesterday.
