Day 46 Rawlins to Rock Springs, WY


Unfortunately today is another day of shuttling, because just like yesterday, there is no road between hosts aside from the interstate.  It's hard when there are back to back days when we can't ride, but safety does come first without a doubt.  Several people had actually taken most of our gear and bikes over to Rock Springs last night, just to make shuttling over there easier.  We are being graciously hosted by the First United Methodist Church.

Rock Springs is actually quite a large town, so it was nice to be able to walk around a lot, get some food at a deli, go into a bike shop (and ask for more stickers of course), and so forth.  We wanted to try doing some hikes, but unfortunately aside from the incredible heat, the vans couldn't really make it up the hills to the starts of the trail, so that kind of fell through.  On the bright side, this happened:

Uhhhh... nightmares for the rest of the trip


Regardless of what happened, however, I think most of us enjoyed the two days off.  We have a long day tomorrow, so any extra rest will be useful.
