Day 17 (24th): Driving Across the Great State of Wyoming

Hello Everyone,

Well, after several days enjoying the sights and sounds in the Black Hills of South Dakota, it was time for another long driving day across the great state of Wyoming. We had a *brilliant* time in South Dakota, and strongly recommend you go check it out for yourselves. The wide open prairies, the spectacular Badlands, the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park...we could have spent even more time there. Fun time.

As we had to make it to Moran Junction, Wyoming by nightfall, we did not have nearly as much time as we would have liked to explore the sights in Wyoming. We would have liked to see Devil's Tower National monument, spent some time exploring nature in the Wind River canyon, and observed a Native American Pow Wow in Riverton. However, as we were headed back west I kept telling myself, "The Grand Tetons are waiting to greet you," and that helped keep me going. Jill and I shared the driving and after 10+ hours on the road we reached our destination: Flagg Ranch, Moran Junction, Wyoming!

Peace,

Brian
