Once again stunning scenary lined our route, I've tried to give a flavour but to be honest the camera does not really do it justic!
Arriving at the battlefield we were able to walk around and learn a little of the history,
Up the hill at the main monument and where Custer met his end we saw the actor Tony Robinson (Baldrick from Black Adder) filming a documentary for the discovery channel.
After a quick lunch stop it was off to find our regularity section and see if we could close the gap on the boys in the Triumph Stag a little more - ooh the pressure!
A great 14km gravel section through the forestry high up in the Black Mountains.
Awaiting our slot on the start line the Porsche cockpit is quiet but thoughtful! Trip zeroed, stop watch zeroed we are ready!! The speed is low so no need to panic - precision is what's needed here.
A few little hidden gems along the way as usual but we felt confident we had done ok.
At the end of the section the ideal times were posted, we had managed 0/0/3 so now just had to wait to see what the boys had done.
Leaving the TS we drove down the most amazing twisting and winding road through the black mountains along side a wonderful fast running shell river, stopping off halfway down to see the waterfall and canyon.
Arriving in our hotel in Cody we had a quick turn around as an early chuckwagon supper had been planned before we jumped on the bus to take us to the Rodeo, kitted out in check shirts and cowboy hats all looking quite the part.
Today's results for the regularity were posted! Car 25 is now only 7 seconds away from the lead car and with another 7 test sections to complete before the end of the rally, we have every possibility of closing the gap further if we hold our heads.
