Day 25. Dubois to Lander Wyoming- 78 miles
Day started great from our getto RV camp spot on the edges of the Longhorn RV park. I took 2 showers while I was there. Ride started again with more views of red rocks area on a road with descent shoulder. I made good time and eventually entered the Wind River reservation which really changes what there is to look at. However soon I passed Crowheart butte which was where chief Washaskie cut out the heart of a crow warrior and pranced around. When I entered the town of Fort Washakie I pedaled to the gravesite of Sacajawea with the help of a local native. Once I saw her grave, the site took my breath away. She was buried next to her adopted son Bazil and her birth son Baptiste. I stayed for awhile thinking what her life was like. Soon I made my final approach into Lander where T and L had already set up camp in the Sink Canyon state park about 9 miles outs rid of Lander. Beautiful area with cliffs and Popo Agie creek. I recommend going here.
