This out by point of rocks WY.
This mural was taken in Rock Springs I didn't get the whole thing.
Lastly outside Rawlins WY my camp site and this is BLM land notice how the road just enters BLM land rather than having to have an access point.

Here is Hobo pool or the Sarasota Hot springs and it is free and 115 degrees.
Fireworks at Point Of Rocks WY the longest fireworks show for the least amont of people 1.5 hours and only 12 people watching HA!
Next up the town of Sarasota looking north and this on the Platte river and this would be the flood plain.
Then you got I 80 in Wyoming for 120 miles to SR130.

This was another campng spot on the side of the MT. This was about 10 miles from US 40 in the Aparahio National forest. The headwaters of the Colorado river. I was down by the dark tree spot. Bryer canyon shot the Colorado river they had a bike share the road sign yellow, so people were extra careful passing me. the bike path was after my self photo shot, and about 10 miles outside Vail as you go under the bridge portion of my post. There was snow here can you believe it.moving right along,
The bridge would be my path up to the hill overlooking Frisco.

So you looking at the amazing Vail library they have tissues, hand sanitizer, pens, paper, and plenty of computers to with a fast connection.
I am standing in the stream I filtered my water my feet are numb from the stream.
The river shot is of the Blue River heading into Silverthrone about 10 miles out
Next up your looking at the Platte river crossing I just crossed into CO and I had to climb this hill after those crosswinds remember. I would then on the other side have a nice incline to Walden.

Ok the picture low looking at the MTs. was the Rott National forrest I stayed there 3 days, and your looking at the Continental Divide or Willow Pass. I would climb the 9600 feet on Sunday after leaving Walden CO.
This is Waldon Colorado looking down.
Next is comming down from Willow Pass going toward Windy Gap
The town your looking at is Frisco CO I climbed the hill and got some great cell reception, The trail was Meadow creek trail.

The picture looking out to the lake was my camp site for the night Green MT. Resivor.
The picture looking out to the MT with the bike path is Vail pass climbing up.
Finally the Colorado river looking up stream to Bryer Cannyon.

I am at Vail Pass 10600 feet this country is amazing!

the city of Vail CO one of the most Pedestrian friendly towns in America.
Bikes galore. The town is setup as a human scale rather than an auto scale our politicians who push us around with motors.

Today was bike heaven. No cars, crosswalks, semis, or life flashes. Just me and my bike path. I took the bike path from Frisco to just outside Vail CO. I will start the morning with a long descent into Vail. It wasn't a long day but I did climb a 10600 foot pass. Going to Vail to Frisco is much much steeper. Painfully steeper. I made it over Vail Pass. You can see the ski runs on the satellite.
My day started out by a nice downhill hike to my bike. What a lovely walk it was. Meadow creek was raging in all her furry. After making it to the trail head I sighed a relief my stuff was there.
Most thiefs don't sit at the trail to steal camping stuff but you never know. Punks is what I am worried about.
I hooked up with the bike trail head just upon leaving town. Frisco was had a ton of bikeways and all were signed. It was a pass with MTs on both side just outside town. I scored two books one book I have wanted to read for the longest time. I traded my Godfather book in. I never finished this book. I figure I can read it sometime latter. The bike path was filled with riders and even some skateboards. Only two tourists, yet they had support (not carrying anything). Every one was real supportive. A lady congratulated me upon reaching the pass "great job."
The scenery was out of this world. I was in a lush green forest winding me through going over wooden bridges to forge Polk and Corral creeks. Copper MT was a vail wanna be from what I can see it was built much latter. The town reminds you of a Swiss village. there was a huge 30 foot bike lane leading into town. I kinda got lost though, but I just started looking to where all the cyclist were going. They had some kind of road demo so lots of roadies. At one point a Pedelton group rode by seeing me on my trailer there were yelling "right" and holding out there hands so the group would remain in their lane. The self supported tourist managed to get a flat somehow. They had a spare and still managed to pass me. There were also the only ones who yelled "left" when passing me.
Upon leaving Copper Mt. I rode in between the Interstates north and south bound lanes. It was frikin gorgeous. With a creek running beside the bike path. A little on the recreational side but I didn't mind to much.
I climbed only 1600 feet at the top of the pass was a Rest stop. I ate dinner and relaxed. A greyhound bus was there and every outlet was full of charging cell phones.
After green beans, gronala bar, crackers, cranberries and some milk I left. I was now going down hill O yeah!
I followed a old highway road and then it ended with a bike path. This is more of what I wanted a road that went right along the interstate. I think a wall could help the lights at night. The path was graded nicely to interstate standards. It veered off path a little but was constant. Until in went under the bridge which left you in a wilderness wonderland if you like the color of green everywhere. Fresh with small creeks letting you know your alive.
I finished up after I saw a nice pull out and said good night.
Today was one of my best days on tour. There are more cyclists going down the path than Amsterdam on a rainy day.
