We start with a lot of wind and some rain. Therefore we reorganise the Land Rover so three people can sit in there, because we only have raincoats available for three people right now.

On our way we pass an advertisement about 100 years Ford, what a coincidence!

During a coffee stop Joris notices the front door of the Land Rover isn’t closing very well either, so this is adjusted. After cutting the inside covering of the door, it closes and opens perfectly again!

Today is the 4th of July. In most villages you can buy fireworks and the streets are decorated with flags and flowers.

We drive through a very beautiful area where dinosaurs have lived in the past. After that the landscape becomes greener, very pretty!

We drive a long road along the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. We arrived in Wyoming!

There are no houses in this area, but suddenly we see the campground. A more crowded campground than you would expect in this area! At night we can see the fireworks which is let off at the lake because of the 4th of July.

Tomorrow we have to drive about 220 miles (350 km), because we promised to arrive in a town near Jackson (Wyoming). This is more than we normally drive, so we agree to rise at 5, so that we can get on the road at 7. A challenge! Hopefully there won’t be too much mountains on our route…
Today we drove 249 km.
