Woke early enough today, but the miles dragged. Thankful for overcast weather, sprinkled a little bit, but when the winds changed direction, we could smell the smoke of the Goff fire like it were right next to us. Lots of breaks today. The end of the day brought a huge climb that wasn't on the elevation profile. A surprise, but we made our best time on this last little stretch. The views tonight were spectacular. Some of the most magical yet, with two rock formations that looked like a bear and an eagle. I could imagine this being a sacred site of Native Americans. Didn't get the miles in today that we wanted--4 or 5 miles short. Early morning tomorrow. Setting a goal to get to the road by 8 or 9 am.
We cannot start the semester without you! Are you going all the way to Canada before coming back? My wife and I love reading about your experiences....keep on truckin'.
