Day 66-67  June 1-2 Wyoming (Thermopolis and Cody)

We got on the road from Rapid City, SD after we went to the Cosmos, it was pretty crooked and made mommy dizzy!!  Lots of weird stuff.  Daddy must have had some extra Toast-saucer-rone for breakfast because he drove even faster!  He said that the tires were finally good and he could go faster.  Well, the motorhome actually did quite well, but at 74 one of the belts chirps so daddy keeps it under 70 to be safe.  He said he doesn't want to change any more of them and that we don't need to go that fast anyway.

We went over a big mountain today call Big Horn Mountain to get to Bree and Rod (and Michael) Gerber's house in Thermopolis.  Daddy couldn't believe how high we climbed, the GPS said we were at 9500 feet at the top!  The motorhome went right up it though.  Daddy says not at 68 though!  There are some facts from the trip at the bottom of the page.

We arrived at mommy's college friend Bree's house at 3:45 and spent the evening with her, Rod and there son Michael, that's my middle name and daddy's name, they were babysitting a one month old named Mason the first hour we were there, talk about confusing!

We had BBQ at there place and then went to ice cream at a local hangout, it was fun.  Then we got up on Friday went to coffee and headed to Cody, WY.  We saw an old west town, a real gun fight enactment. well we heard it anyway it spooked Big Bro and me so we left.  We were going to top the evening off with a rodeo, but mommy was too sick, all of them are still sick.  We head to Yellowstone tomorrow so pray mommy is better!
