This morning was a cold and wet morning! 40's again. I made my gluten free oatmeal, splurged and put a tsp of cream cheese in it for a little variety, had my banana and orange juice, oh yes, and all my vitamins.
I did all 91 miles today ! I like going at my own pace, taking pictures, meeting folks... so i end up being one of the last ones in.
We had to go through three tunnels with no shoulder and limited visibility. That was a little nervy to me, but i made it through without any problem.
There were several rivers to cross - poison waters, bad water, big horn river, no water river.
Had our lunch at Wedding of the Waters. ( yes, pictures to come )
Today we went through the Wind River Indian Reservation. It had s totally different feeling than any area we have been through . I saw some teepees near the road had fond memories of living in the Teepee back in the 70's.
After leaving Riverton we went through Shoshoni, Thermopolis, and came to the largest hot springs in the world. For 2 dollars you could rent a bathing suit, a towel and soak for 20 minutes. What a deal! It felt wonderful and purifying - in so many ways. The only problem was there was another 35 miles, some of which was 5% climbing to get to Worland. AND - - what one would have predicted, after the southerly winds of yesterday, there was now northerly winds and we were headed north east. So...more head winds!
The temperature warmed up, blue skies and magical waters nearby. I saw 4 hawks within 30 minutes. I stopped and visited with them.
I went on into town and saw a bunch of cyclists from our group having a beer at a Mexican food cafe. I joined them for a Corona and chilled after a beautiful day of riding.
Tomorrow is another day of 90 + miles, 25 miles of 6% climb, climbing to 9666 ft, the highest point of the trip.
I best get to sleep , NB and the Texas Road Queen
