Day Four

We stayed in Sidney, NE last night and it was really nice. I'm sorry for all the bad things I said about Nebraska only having corn. It's actually a really pretty state. Tonight we are staying in Laramie, Wyoming and let me just say that it's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Dad and I have already decided that we might just have to move to WY. We haven't yet discussed this with mom and David. After we passed Cheyenne, we drove through Buford, WY which is the smallest town in the nation with a whopping population of ONE! We reached "Lincoln's Head" (as quoted by Steve...FYI--it's actually called Lincoln Monument). It actually is just a giant statue of Lincoln's head. This is the highest point on I-80 at 8,640 feet. It was spectacular. We did see lots of antelope and a fox as we traveled the interstate.

Tonight we ate at a place called Chuckwagon Restaurant. There was enough food to serve an entire army. I guess cowboys get pretty hungry around here. I'm still in search of some cowboy boots (didn't find any at Cabela's) and dad is now in search for a cowboy hat to fit his small head. He says that mine makes his head look really small. I don't ask anymore...I just nod my head and smile!

Tomorrow we are going to the Territorial Prison where Butch Cassidy was housed. That should be pretty interesting. We did take some pictures at "Lincoln's Head"; I'll post later. I can't wait to get to Mount Rushmore, or "The Presidents' Heads" as dad calls it. I really can't make this stuff up!

Day four is behind us, and it really is nice to have time to slow down and do some sightseeing. Can't wait to get to Yellowstone!
