This morning we went to the Oxbow for another great breakfast. Then it was to Main St to find a good spot for the parade. Lander is roughly in the center of Wyoming and I think about a quarter of the population of Wyoming comes for the celebration here. The mile long parade route was filled on both sides of the road with spectators. The parade itself is typical, with the fire dept., the high school band and lots of other stuff. I was expecting a few more western things and there was some.
Then it was into the Lander Bar and a few beers.
OK so we are in the bar and there are some folks dressed in last 1800's costume and Jason (one of the Brits) gets a lot of great photos with them. Once he sends them to me, I will share them.
OH, we went to the Lander Pioneer Days Rodeo last night and this is the 117th year for this rodeo, the longest continuous rodeo in the country.
We all had a good time at the rodeo which did not end until around 10 pm. The bike ride back was interesting especially without a front light. At least I had two red tail lights. OK, we have been warned that tonight we should not ride our bikes in town. A lot of crazy drunks setting off fireworks all over the place, literally. Since we are camped on a bluff overlooking the city we will get a few beers and sit up here and watch the fireworks all over the city.
