Sept 23 - Welcome to Wyoming, the land with 5 people per square mile. The neat thing is that we're 8,000 feet above sea level, and I didn't even feel light headed. Tristan and I camped at Vedauwoo (pronounced Vee-dah-voo) in Medicine Bow National Forest. Vedauvoo has a bunch of cool rock formations (and by rocks, I mean super heavy boulders perched precariously atop of one another.) After we set up camp, we laid out on the rocks to watch the stars. Because of clouds, the stars weren't as vibrant as they were in Utah, but it was still pretty awesome to watch how quickly the clouds moved. The next day, we went hiking despite the impending rain. Tristan decided to climb a huge boulder, but then couldn't figure out how to get down. Smart guy he is, he figured it out and then helped me climb over. We ate our PB&J sandwiches while we enjoyed the view. When the rain picked up, we quickly but
carefully climbed down from the rock (scary!) then scurried to the car (Tristan slipped but is okay.)
