We know, only ten days riding and a day off…..Slackers.  But between the hills, heat and elevation our bodies need the rest….that is our story and we are sticking to it!

Interesting fact: The entire state of Wyoming has less people (500,000) than the City of Virginia Beach!

Perfect day to take off and enjoy the scenery with the breeze rustling the leaves of the tall trees.  Now if we were on the bike, we would note it as a 20 mph wind in our face, Perfect day to take off.  Being in the middle of nowhere with no T.V. has it’s advantages, when your goal is to rest.  The ranch does offer a lot of outdoor activities; fishing, hiking, swimming, horseback riding, etc.  As much as the idea of a horseback ride across a river and through the hills was Very appealing, it would do the legs no good.  We did manage a close game of horseshoes, though.  After happy hour (dinner bell doesn’t ring until 7:00), we watched the horses enjoying the sprinkling system while Jerry worked on his, “So a horse walks into a bar…..” joke.  It went over pretty well with the audience…….falling down laughing!

Dinner was Ribeye or Salmon Steak finished with Key Lime Torte.  But the best part was our genuine cowboy, Pete, who told us (a wink in his eye) as he served, “I just finished installing a toilet, but I did wash my hands.”  I want to take him and Evil home with me!  Tomorrow, we ride.
