Another very windy day. George was on the road before six riding in the brisk cold weather of low 40's. We had to get up before 5 to get out there. (Hey, what kind a vacation is this when we set our alarm clock for 4:35 and its not just once, but a few times already). George met these true hitchhiking kind a tour riders today. They were happy to share with him that they hitchhike their way around regularly. When the going gets tough, they get a ride. I have had new respect for George, on this bike tour. To have the temptation of a ride, never really too far from him, but never taking advantage of that. He has not called me for a ride before he is done, unless its absolutely unsafe (weather or traffic related). Anyways, I did nothing but drive around trying to get cell phone reception to resolve some work issues. I did have fun watching this Sheriff (in a pick up truck) who had a major speeding trap going on there. There was a stretch of less than 0.25 mile, where the speed limit went from 65 mph to 50 mph (I think he rigged that up himself, since this entire town was of that length or less). He had to do nothing but drive on this little stretch one way and give a speeding ticket and the other way and do the same thing. Well, you gotta get your kicks somehow. I have been wondering where all the people are in WY, since all the town's are so tiny. George did some research and found out that WY has the least population in the country and the US gov. owns 48% of all the land. Figures....
We went from Rawlins, WY to Jeffery City, WY
Total Miles: 72
