Day 4 or 5 -- I'm really not sure, but I did have my first shower and it was glorious!

For certain I've discounted many cities along the way and have seen some wonderfully great places.  For road side stops Wyoming can't be beat.  A small "rest stop" in Wyoming might include a lake hike such as below.  Sam and I reached this stop about 9:00 am after waking to 30-degree weather.  Fresh snow scattered about the shoreline and me in my flip flops and Mississippi skirts sprinted along glee-ily (word?) as Sam wet his toes and palate in the crystal clear water.
