Day 46 Monday June 28 Rawlins to Jeffery City

Now there's serious scenery

Parco Inn

Now Sinclair. An extraordinary leftover from the time of Charlie Chaplin and the 1920s. Unusual find in Wyoming.

All a bit "Mad Max" like. But
Chris rode with me so it was good to have a buddy, especially on the fast if well shouldered interstate. Despite the road work all the trucks and nearly all the RV shared the road. Lots of interesting geological formations here near Fort Steele but I had to concentrate on riding the interstate.

Man I’m getting tanned on this trip

Wore my rain kit today but again lucky as only got sprinkles on the Interstate before exiting to Sinclair.

A rare opportunity to actually stop and read something historical

Rain hanging about but the temperature is fine

Love those wide open vistas of WY.

My day to ride

Day 45 Sunday June 27

What a change? Pelicans cruising regally in Saratoga Lake, must, promise of a clear day for the 42 miles to Rawlins.

Saratoga’s signature tourist draw

Nope. If it's not in Japan or Iceland I don't do public, way too easy to access hot springs.

Day 44 Saratoga Lake

Foul weather, mosquitoes, we ditched dinner prep and went to The Grumpy Italian instead. Trying times

Welcome to Wyoming

Thunderstorms and a drenched ride to Saratoga. Van for me, but full experience for everyone else. It's hard to enjoy the spectacular scenery when the weather is so foul.

Rain again at dinner time

It was a tough day for the riders up and over Cameron Pass, so the thunderstorm was another trial.

Day 43 Walden, CO

Drive day for me, and scope out Hanson City Park for free camping. Checked in with the sheriff, with an unbeatable location in the basement of a courthouse.
