Last night Mr. Taylor called up one of old friends in Cody and arranged a place for me to stay tonight. The ride was once again long, hard and pretty boring until the very end. At the end of the ride I saw wild mustangs and witnessed an amazing sunset over Yellowstone that I would later on come to find that the reason it was so magnificent was because of the fires going on in the park!
The Hilger family was extremely nice to me! They opened their house to me, fed me and provided me with anything my heart desired! Well, not exactly but it was great to stay with them. The provided me with a relaxing and fun atmosphere where I could let loose and just joke around for a while. Upon my late arrival into Cody I received the bad news that I could not camp anywhere within yellowstone that was biking distance from Cody and there were fires in Yellowstone that may get in my way (aka. cut off my route to Old Faithful and West Yellowstone). After much research and deliberating, it was quite clear that if I wanted to spend my birthday in Yellowstone I would have to be escorted up to the entrance the morning of the 29th. So, this meant an extra day in Cody.
