July 8 - 13

I spent some time getting to know Cheyenne. Taking off for a run in the morning, which I discovered is quite difficult when you're not used to the altitude. I spent some time in Fort Collins walking around and exploring the small western town. My girl showed me a great sports store, JAX, REI on steroids is the only way I know how to describe it.

Went to Mt. Rushmore with the girl and Bean. Rained and cloudy the entire time. I was able to get one shot of the mountain when the sun came out for a split second. Bean seemed to get a kick out of the stone men.

Went to Crazy Horse memorial, but we weren't impressed with it. It's not completed after 60 years. Also, it wasn't possible to get close to the sculpture and not nearly as impressive at Mt. Rushmore. 

Jamie and I planned to go to the Grand Tetons in a few days to celebrate my 50th birthday.
