We woke up in Sydney, NE, at a hotel near the Cabela's World Headquarters. We packed up quickly and took off toward Wyoming. The scenery started to change as we got closer to Wyoming. The land has rolling grasslands, shrubs and once in Wyoming there are snow capped mountains. We saw over 50 pronghorns roaming but they went by fairly quickly since the speed limit is 80 mph.

We stopped in Laramie, WY, to use the restroom, get gas and eat. The boys had a brick fired pizza and I had a turkey, apple, fig sandwich type thing at Alibi. Both were good. We then set off again and stopped one more place so Matt could eat Burger King. After driving another couple of hours we stopped in Rock Springs to get groceries so we could fix dinner at our campsite at Fire Hole Campground in Flaming Gorge.

Once we got to our campsite, site #17, we first took off the boys' bikes and gave them instructions on where they can ride their bikes. As they started off, Seth immediately got off his bike and calmly announced he saw a snake. So we all went over to look at it crawling across the pavement and noticed that it was a rattlesnake. After that excitement, we set up our tent and then rode our bikes down to the river to explore. It was around 6 before we cooked dinner at the campsite. Then we took another trail down to the river before Seth lit the campfire. The boys walked around, rode their bikes and explored awhile as we watched the sun set on the Flaming Gorge. The area is so quiet and peaceful. You can't hear cars, planes, radios, people and not even bugs or birds. It is truely quiet.

It was a clear night and Liam wanted to sleep with the rain cover off. We waited until you could see the stars and Milky Way and let him get in the tent. Then we realized that both him and Seth sleep completely inside their sleeping bag. You can't see their heads or any part of their bodies because they are inside the sleeping bag. It was cold. So Matt and I put the rain over on the tent. The stars were amazing. There are so many that we couldn't just focus on one. Seeing the Milky Way with your own eyes is a remarkable experience.

So far we have used over 72 gallons of gas and have driven over 1,500 miles.
