Bike and Blog - WY Have Gun Laws When You Can Not Have Gun Laws?

As corny and simplistic as it is, I've been thinking a lot about the question why since we entered into WHYoming (as if you couldn't get the sorry excuse for a pun without the capital letters). Not so much why I wanted to do this trip, but why there are so many differences between the thousands of people that I've come across on this trip. Just kidding, I won't delve into a hopeless discussion like that, but I can give you guys an update about the trip if you promise not to hate me for my horrible sense of humor...or lack thereof.

So we crossed into Wyoming and everything is pretty normal. Most of our days here have been ridiculously easy. I believe we had an 81-mile day coming into WY, then it was a mid 50 and 60 mile day to follow. The terrain hasn't been horrible, just a lot of hills. I guess I got stronger and God has blessed my ride because once I get into a groove I'm averaging 17mph on some days, and 20-22mph on other days.

Weather has even been mild. Haven't had a ton of rain and there hasn't been any scorching heat yet. The rain here is weird, sprinkling a few times while the sun was out (showers are all of 30 seconds). We had a build day today, and it was pretty hot but I'm pretty sure it was because we were just standing (and working) in the sun all day. We primarily lay down the sub-floor I believe. Not my favorite build day but it wasn't the worst either.

I almost forgot to mention that we went to a Ranch a few days ago and some locals let us shoot their guns. Gun laws are especially lax out here, so we shot an AK-47, a shotgun, and a sniper rifle into a mound of dirt and no one called the cops. Can you believe that? It was my first time shooting a gun, though not my first time holding one. It's loud. I see why sensible people wear earmuffs. The sniper was my favorite, a Remington 7mm. Had a nice kick and a delightful pop instead of the grating bang that the AK had. Plus it had a scope so it's so much easier to aim. Mounds of dirt can be tricky things to hit in case you were wondering. The ranch also cooked us up some fresh grass fed beef, pairing it with some deviled egg salad and beans. Good day. Almost allowed me to overlook the confederate-ish flag they had blowing in the wind. Wasn't the official flag, but had something about the confederate way of life.

Welp, hope you enjoyed the pictures. That's all I have for now so thanks for listening with your eyes.
