More of day 7

We left Custer, South Dakota this morning an headed west as I stated in the earlier post.
We ran through South Dakota crossing into Wyoming in Newcastle, yes, those of you reading this in the UK, there are other places called Newcastle out there.

Once on the freeway we ran west hot and fast.
We stopped for gas in little town called Sheridan, in the gas station a police car pulled up alongside us and when I looked at the license plate, I saw that it was from Washington State.
I talked to the officers in the car they were headed to Rapid City for a memorial for officers who were shot and killed during a call out.
This was not Sturgis biker related, but a domestic violence issue.

We were just thinking that we had got a day without rain when we headed up over the Tetons on highway 14, we got up to about 9,000 feet when the skies opened. We were hit with hail and an immense amount of rain. We just plugged through it and fortunately ran out of it pretty quickly.

As we headed down from the Tetons, we came across a herd of cattle being driven down the road by a lone cowboy with three dogs. We just parked up and waited for them to head off road again.

We arrived in Cody round 4:00 PM, we headed out to the post office and I was able to send off my stuff before they closed.
