After breakfast this morning and a visit to High Country Harley the men rode while the ladies did the city trolley tour. The ride began out Missile Dr. to WY. 210 West (part of The Sand Creek Massacre Trail) to Curt Gowdy State Park. The park was name after him in March 1972, he was local boy we became a world famous sports broadcaster. After a short visit we continued west on 210 through Medicine Bow National Forest. Then it was short run west on 80 to Laramie. In the old part of town we had lunch at Altitude Grill and Brewery, before returning to Cheyenne. Final note Laramie is also the home Wyoming University. After the ladies did the city tour some continued their journey through out the day visiting museums. They journeyed through Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum, Cheyenne Depot Museum and Nelson Museum of The West before calling it a day. I still get excited each time we ride through this wonderful creation God has blessed us with. While the ladies enjoyed their time experiencing the days and times of the pass.

Today we rode out with warm morning temps and a big sky. But later in the day temps reached 103 Degrees making it a hot day with heat bouncing off asphalt highway running below us. We rode 120 East through Wind River Canyon (home of the Arapaho and Shoshone) to Shoshoni, WY., where we to took 20/26 East to Casper. In Casper it was 25 South to Cheyenne, WY. for a few days. Just for your information these roads that we traveled today are also know as the Sand Creek Massacre Trail. This trail serves as a reminder of that dreadful day November 29, 1864 and also as a reminder of their journey afterwards. This was the time when 750 Arapaho and Cheyenne had gathered to meet with a US representative. It was during this time that the US troops began their slaughter of an estimated 230 Americans mostly the elderly and estimated 150 women and children. This trail runs begins in Cheyenne and runs through,Laramie, Casper, Riverton and North of Ethete, WY.. Just take a moment and think about this. Then ask yourself who does our government really own something to? Despite tragedy’s like this through out our history God has truly blessed this country. We should be thankful and caring to others has He has been to us. So take a moment in the very near future to bless someone and tell them they are loved. And may our Heavenly Father continue to guide each step you take during this journey called life. Amen

Today was a free day for everyone to do what they wanted. While some shopped, others rested and some rode. But they all where in wait for this evening’s adventure. It was a dinner and show at the Cody Cattle Company and afterwards a rodeo. It was good to just relax and enjoy the day no matter what you were doing.

Today we spend the day in Yellowstone National Park admiring God’s wonderful and amazing scenery. Yellowstone with it’s wonders of wildlife, geysers and landscape. Yellowstone is the first national park and was established on March 1, 1872. It is located in the northwestern part of Wyoming and covers 3,468 square miles. You can not take in all the sights of Yellowstone in one day, you need to plan on at least 3 or 4 days to start with. Like many of national and state parks across the wonderful country it is well worth the stay.

Today we rode Chief Joseph Highway (WY. 296) connects Cody with Beartooth Pass and is 45.96 miles long. Then we rode Beartooth Pass (US212) is 68.7 miles to Red Lodge, MT.. Beartooth runs from Cooke City, WY. to Red Lodge, MT. , it is also know a the All American Road. These two roads are worth the ride with there amazing landscape and breath taking views. These are two are just some of God’s wonderful sights He as blessed us with.

This morning was another full day of riding seeing the Master’s art work, by the greatest Artist the world has ever known. Truly it’s been a blessing for me to be able to do what I have done over the last several years. I never take it for granted, for the only difference between myself and someone else is a breath. For our life’s can change in a instance; So take the time to enjoy what God has blessed us with. Our journey today began by riding 85 South to Lead and turning West on 14A through Spearfish Canyon.

This morning was a late departure under clear skies and temps on the rise. This morning’s ride began with a blessing, Chuck got his bike back ready to ride. It was back out 90 West and the fight was on with the brutal winds once again. The winds were strong enough that the bikes had to be in a slight left lean to go straight and the trikes needed a little more pull on the left grip. If you are ever on 90 stop off at the Belvidere exit and visit JC’s C-Store, they have some of best homemade cookies and snack you will ever eat. Griz also met is older cuz Gary there (not really). But we did managed to get to 240 West and ride the Badlands Loop before stopping at Wall Drugs for lunch. Leaving Wall it was onto Deadwood, SD. When we arrived here this evening Brother Spokane Bob was here waiting on us, he will be riding with for several days. And we will be here until Friday June 11th. On this leg of the trip God has done so many things, He gave the opportunity to pray for others, help others, to meet new Brothers and a Sister, He continued to keep safe and upright during this time. We also witness a couple other blessing, two major accidents with no fatalities or apparent major injuries. There is more we could talk about but it’s save that for a later time. Mark 9:23 tell us that all things are possible for those who believe. And I do believe through the revelation of Jesus Christ that all thing are possible. But my question for you this evening do you?
