Holy Rodeo, Batman! (and many other things!)

What an exciting day!  Driving over the Rocky Mountains was stunning to say the least!  As you can see by this charming picture, I was quite impressed (and tired from all the adventures thus far!).

 We felt like we were on top of the world!

The ride down from the Rockies was breathtaking as we drove along miles of awe-inspiring cliffs that arched far above us.  At every zig and zag I was tempted to hop out and hike these beautiful and ancient cliff-faces, but alas, we had to make it to Cody, WY for a good ol' fashioned rodeo!

On our way to Cody, we (predictably) got sidetracked and enjoyed a rejuvenating soak in Hot Springs State Park (Thermpolois, WY).  We were fortunate to be the only ones in the hot spring!

After our soak we stopped to hike around the Legend Rock Petroglyph Site where we not only saw prehistoric drawings, but we also had a close encounter with a beautiful Antelope!

FINALLY we arrived in Cody and got to see a freaking rodeo!!!

TIME FOR BED!!! Yellowstone tomorrow! :D
