Well we crossed into Wyoming...welcome to Cheynne.

The snow is coming down, 18 degrees, already have 2 inches and more coming down. We are stranded argh!

Total by morning 11 inches, I-80 and I-25 are closed. Finally found a room around 2am. We only moved at abou 25-30 mph on the interstate before we got off the road.

... is for an inch of snow at higher elevation tomorrow with a few more following on Thursday. An inch may not sound like much, but if it sticks to the road, neither me nor my 800 pound motorcycle is going anywhere.

Sounds like I need to start heading east (as in lower elevation) and/or south ASAP.

The week has been filled with parades, night programs, rodeo events, pancake breakfasts, Indian dancing, and air shows. People come out from all over ...

... transcontinental railroad. One of the boots in front of the museum recorded the names of all the governors of Wyoming and another contained images representing the history of Cheyenne. As we walked down the street toward the capitol building, we found more of the giant boots and a great number of banners for Frontier Days. All in all the downtown atmosphere struck Jim as more like a big town county seat than the capitol of a state ...

... have a pool that is full of water from the hot springs. It runs in and then out. Laurie, it would be your kind of pool, very warm.

The sun is shining but we have lots of clouds ahead. As we head into Edgemont. We leave the Black Hills and are now traveling though grassy hills. We have passed a couple of really small towns – one with what appeared to be a one room school house still in use. The reason I say "still in use" is ...

Well, I think I'm going to go on another hike this afternoon and hopefully something happens soon here. I'm getting really antsy and excited to go to Kazakhstan! I wish I could count down the days, but unfortunately I can't.
