It felt so good to run the day before, so I went out for another run today.  It was great!  I saw some wild turkeys with their babies :-)  MR rode his bike with me.  I was exhausted after 6 miles, but it was that good kind of work-out exhaustion.  I haven't felt that for a while.

Knee was a little sore from the running, so I didn't run today.  MR and I did go on a awesome bike ride on the Michelson Rail Trail in South Dakota.  We started at the trail head in Hill City and rode 14.6 miles up to the Mystic trail head.  Took a cheetos break and then rode back to Hill City.  29.2 miles total, and half of that was a good climb.  8 miles of gradual incline, 6 miles of steep down.  Turn around and 6 miles of steep climb with 8 miles of gradual decline.  A good workout and a beautiful ride.  We got to ride through 2 different tunnels.  The trail was gravel/dirt and in really good shape.  It costs $3 a person per day to ride, and it 100% worth every penny.  I wish there were trails like this where we live.

Here's a photo of MR and I in front of one of the tunnels.

More time in the car, but we did get in a good hike at Devil's Tower.  We took the outer loop and the side loop through Prarie Dog Town.  Beautiful views.  We had a great time getting out of the car!

Woke up and the sun rise over the mountains.  We were camping at Buffalo Bill State Park, Wyoming, and it was a little cold and windy.  Beautiful sunrise!

Then we spent the rest of the day at Yellowstone walking and hiking the trails and seeing the cool stuff there.  Drove through Jackson and got to see the Tetons.  I've never seen them before and they are truly amazing!

Stopped to camp for the night at Allred Flat campground in Bridger National Forest.  Not much there, but we were tired and just needed a place to lay down and sleep.

Here's a photo of a geyser erupting on the people who were standing on the bridge waiting to watch old faithful.  It amused me.

Bike ride and jet ski day.  I didn't know riding a jet ski would make me so sore!
