Colorado and Wyoming

We had lunch in Boulder, and observed the plethora of bike route signs, bike riders, and bike shops. School also starts soon so we got to see university kids moving in, not many cares in their world it seems. Got coffee and people watched, plus cruised through campus. Hackey sack is alive and well, as is hipster clothes, funny hair, and personal style that students who are unaccountable to the workforce can pull off. Fun is in the air.

Later we contrasted this with the vast open country of Wyoming. Trucks. Stickers like "heavily armed right wing extremist" on the back of big trucks. Stopped for gas and a shake at Bullfrogs Shake Shack in Glendo - interesting spot. Good bumper sticker was "I miss my ex still but my aim is getting better". Dinner in Casper was at DQ. Lots of families, but they were bigger than they should be, and clothes were all function no style... Halliburton t-shirts, cowboy hats, Wranglers. We played the odds with deer and antelope as there were like 20 of them in the last hour eating grass on the side of the road.

Great sleep in Sheridan - sober and "only" 5,000 feet of elevation. We didn't get to see it last night, but the bear came to our place in Breck again... we heard it and saw the garbage wrecked in the morning.
