Day 18, Happy Fourth of JULY! This was our longest day of biking yet, 120 miles, and it was a very hot 104 degrees outside. We had to get to Casper, WY to enjoy our next day off. A flat early in the ride slowed me donw. The terrain was rolling hills that did not offer much to photo, but we did stop for lunch at a cool place called Hells 1/2 Acre. There is a photo above. Below was a funny place I saw called Bad Bobs. The head wind was bad today for the first 80 miles then things settled down. By the time I was at 100 miles our legs were on auto-pilot and had no juice left. For 4th of July we saw the Casper Fireworks and went to a cowboy bar called the Beacon. I was dancing to a Will Smith song, Gettin Jiggy with it, and this drunken cowboy thought I was mocking him. He got in my face with his finger and so I had to drop him with beer bottle. Seriously though, I walked away and survived the night.
