Day 8 Recap

Today Bill, Sara, and I moved ahead of the group while eveyone else waited for tire replacements in the bikes. Our destination was Independence Rock.




After initally passing it up (there's no sign for it so we thougt that there was another giant rock in the middle of Wyoming, we discovered that you are allowed to climb the rock. So we did just that. It ended up being one of the greatest moments in my life.




The view was incredible as was the sense of accomplishment on we were up there. At the time, no one else was around, so we had the place to ourselves. All over the surface, people had engraved their names from as late as the 70s and as early as 1800. Sadly they don't allow you to engrave names any longer. Plus I could find a stone suitable for etching.




Fom their we just drove through Wyoming. We only got lost twice. One time was dye to the fact that my car was simpl incapable of doing this particular back road our gps took us down. But after a long day, we made it to our campsite in one piece. Tomorrow we tackle Utah.
