DAY 6
Hard saying goodbye to Greg this morning, wish he was continuing with us but it was not to be this year. Nice ride today across the grassy plains of eastern Wyoming and into the Black Hills of South Dakota. We crossed Grasslands National Park which is exactly what it sounds like. This is definitely the "range" of Home On The Range fame, deer and antelope all along the way. Also, cows and sheep all sharing the endless grasslands in every direction.
Saw lots of oil wells in Wyoming and several drilling rigs as the high prices have caused a mini boom in this area, also passed a large refinery. So please explain why when we stopped to get gas we had to go to three stations to find fuel that wasn't 85% corn! Everywhere we tried was E-85 what is the deal with these states.
Finished the day in the middle of the Black Hills, expecting a great ride tomorrow around the area. Standing on the balcony watching a light rain pass by knowing that we were in for the night.

Sounds awesome! I can't say the same for your daughter's singing as she is now belting out "Home, home on the range..." as I'm stuck in the car with her.
Hangin out with your dog today... the kiddos miss you a ton! Looking forward to hearing all of Papa's stories!

Missed reading your Sat. night post, computer down. Ally had to call Cox to get it back up again. Glad you're having fun. It's Sunday and kids are spending the night, along with their mom. Ally's on the couch so Hayden can sleep in "papa's" spot...xoxo
