Road Trip - Night 10 and Day 11

I do NOT have enough time to write just how unbelievable today was.  We are almost at our home for the night, but I'll try.

First, I shall write about our glorious Anniversary party for Jac and Ed last night. There was food, wine, champagne and LOTS of celebrating.

The crew woke up on Day 11 and it was ON.  Our highly anticipated, completely unorganized (no research, no reservation, no problem!) Horseback riding day had arrived!!!! We called a guy (Trey) down the road (who's number was on a banner) and set it up.  70 dollars a person for a 4 hour ride, plus 20 dollars off because there were four of us. The price was right.

Bridger Teton State Park + 6 horses + us and our 2 "guides" (pretty sure they did not look back at us the whole time) = SOREST, MOST AMAZING DAY IN THE WYOMING WILDS!

This was not your mother's horseback riding.  First of all, no helmets.  Second of all, no instructions or lesson of any sort.  Then there was the fact that we just trusted these 2 seriously young cowboys to steer us in the right/non-murder-in-the-woods direction.  By the end of the ride, which turned out to be more like 5 hours, we could barely dismount our horses and the cartilage was melting off of our knees but it was worth it.  We may be exhausted, but we did it and I highly reccommend it!!!

As I write, Ed has just driven us through Idaho and into Utah where we will be camping for the night.

Night!
