An update from Linda…

We’re taking a off day today. We had a flat the 2nd  day and didn’t make 20 miles to Irish Canyon. We slept in a pasture behind the barbed wire fence. There was an old, shot up no trespassing sign posted, but this was out in the middle of nowhere. The law dogs didn’t get us.  So yesterday, we knew we couldn’t make it to Rock Springs and we flagged a real nice guy down, Chad, who brought us to RS.

We have to replace a tire and tubes, we had spares, when we had the flat, but we don’t anymore. Also, my rear brake broke so we have to get it fixed.

I lost my windbreaker somewhere , so we need to replace that. We think we left it laying on picnic table in Irish Canyon. Maybe the person who finds it needs it more than me.

I left my regular sunglasses at home, thinking I wouldn’t need them and on the way to Craig, I said I wished I had brought them, and all of a sudden, Jimmy said there’s some sunglasses for you on the ground and we stopped and picked them up. They even had a little magnified part at the bottom, so I can read with them!

Yesterday was a real tough day and I was about worn out.  I had just said out loud, “Lord, please send somebody to pick us up and in a few minutes Chad stopped! The Good Lord is providing for us!!

We are fine. A little tired and sore, but that will pass. I hope everybody is fine. We will try to put more pix on the site today. Don’t worry if y’all don’t hear from us everyday. Sometimes we won’t have coverage.

Day 1 Complete!

Day 1 from Steamboat to Craig was a success!  Here are some photos from the day.

We left the college at 10:00. Mary came to send us off. What a pleasant surprise! Started having problems with my left knee about 15 miles from Craig. We rested at a rest area and I stretched it out. Much better.

Gina had invited us to stay at a little apartment that belongs to St. Michael’s Church. Gina and George greeted us with smiles on their faces. George really liked the bike. They let us borrow their car to go and get something to eat.

It was a good start to the trip.
