Cody Wyoming

So far it has been a great trip. I have stopped at many places along the way and enjoyed things I know I would never have seen if I had not gone this direction. . Cody is such a fun place to stop and explore. Sturgis was going on so I had the opportunity to meet many bikers! I decided to take a quick trip to Yellowstone since I was so close. That didn’t turn out so great because the elevation was to high for Shorty. I often wonder how this little dog continues. His heart is so huge and I have to be so careful to prolong his life so that he can do what he loves… traveling!  I know one day, this little guy wont be here with me and I often contemplate what that will look like. How I will handle such a loss. It is a darker place I seem to go more often than not. Perhaps it is good that my mind tries to prepare for his time instead of just one day it happening?

Anyway, life is beautiful! It is messy and scary and crazy amazing all wrapped in one! I miss my family but I also know this is where I need to be currently. I feel a bit more disconnected in Cody and am ready to continue on. I am terrified of the mountain I must cross hahaha its 9,666 feet high which I KNOW you Colorado people laugh at that! Pulling a camper with a dog that cant do elevation however is troublesome for me.

Made it over and out just fine and am now heading to Devil’s Tower and Mount Rushmore! I find myself listening to the same few songs on Spotify over and over again. I find the words soothing and comforting as well as appropriate for my mind. I would share these songs but I am not ready to open up that much yet.
