Across America Knocks Off Wyoming


July 22- We woke up early and enjoyed a hearty breakfast at John's aunt's house (cheesy eggs, caramelized cinnamon bagels, yogurt, strawberries and blueberries!) before heading out to conquer the remaining miles of Wyoming. We spent most of the day battling strong headwinds, forcing us to end our day a bit earlier than expected. During our last 20 mile stretch, we were met with a fierce thunderstorm that turned the sky black. To our backs was a beautiful clear sky, and ahead lay lighting and a slightly out of place double rainbow within the storm. A kind gentleman passing us on the road went out of his way to drive 10 miles up the road to ask a family of we could camp on their lawn, as we were looking a bit hopeless! Unfortunately that didn't pan out, but we did end up being helped by another kindhearted individual a couple of miles later who Gave us water and directed us to a prime camp site. We made sesame chicken and went to sleep satisfied under another sky full of stars.

Across America Zooming Through States

From over the weekend: The Across America Trek biked through 3 states yesterday - Montana, Wyoming, and North Dakota reaching Belle Fourche.  The days continue to be long and hot so the group is getting earlier and earlier starts.  Biking is going very well and they are doing 80+ miles daily. 

And for Monday: Across America has made it to Rapid City and are continuing to move!  A quick note from Julian (Leader):
"Made it thru Montana (finally!), then Wyoming and South Dakota. States for dinner and a bike shop session in rapid city and now continuing east."
