So I finished shopping for my food, a thunder cell had moved towards me. I had to walk my bike for a couple blocks due to the cross wind. The laundromat was closed.
As I was headed into the food store I saw to bums asking for money. The sign " traveling broke and hungry. "
They were still standing there when I left. I gave them a good luck (you will need it). Looking like young slobs I wasn't going to give any food.
I bought enough food to last a week. I guess I get a little overboard when you know you are heading into a desert.
At any rate I went back to the park to eat some strawberries and OJ.
I rested most of the day here, watching families and friends picnicing. As another thunderstorm rolled by so did I. I didn't care if I was riding in the dark. I had a rest day comming up.
I thought I would have to use the interstate, but they have a service road. I might add I have the whole road to myself. Although I really debate which is safer?
65 on a two lane road, or 75 with my own 7 foot shoulder. There are some gaps on the frontage road and it looks like some unnamed roads will see.
The ride was pretty easy going. However I rode my ass off literally. Rest day for me.
Upon reaching Point of Rocks I saw my fireworks. And they kept going. For about an hour and a half. Since it was private I was right there looking at them real low to the ground. It was the biggest show with the fewest people maybe 20 at the most.
I then found the overland trail and walked my bike down the dirt road to find a camp site.
I beded down and got some sleep. It has been warm lately, I have been foregoning the rain fly for a ceiling of stars. Also mosquitoes have left the building how nice.
I was originally going to use I 70 in Co , but accordingly to the bike suitability map I am restricted from using it. So I choose I 80. So glad I did that. Let Wyoming get my money rather then CO.
