Days 49, 50 + 51/ Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?

This post will hands down have the best pictures of the entire trip so far. Wyoming is beautiful but it is extremely difficult to bike through. The terrain is unpredictable and the wind is powerful. Crosswinds of 30+ mph throw me to the side and headwinds of 30+ mph cause me to struggle to go down hill. It's brutal out here but the views are worth it. The past three days we went from Rawlins to Rock Springs to Green River to Kemmerer. I managed to run over a tiny brass nail which popped my tube and then I hit a bump and dented my rear wheel. Luckily Rock Springs is home to the store Bike and Trike! The guys there hooked me up and fixed my tire and I was back on my way! Huge thanks to Blair a SigEp alumni from Wyoming Alpha who treated us to breakfast at the restaurant he owns, The Krazy Moose! He also told us to check out the Flaming Gorge Reservoir about 70 miles south of Green River and we are so glad we made the trip down there. It was amazing. We also made a trip 40 miles north of Green River to Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuse where we swam in the clearest river I've ever seen. We also saw a moose which was a first for me. We also had a great time in Rock Springs, met some pretty awesome people!

Tomorrow I'll finally enter into Idaho!! Then only two states separate me from the Pacific Ocean. Getting close now I can feel it.
