Another Natural Wonder

Well, the Royal Gorge canyon is natural, and the bridge is pretty cool too! They have a zip line strung over the canyon.... it was amazing to watch the people "flying"across the canyon on it!





And then there is this crazy sunset happening right now--Colorado really is lovely!

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

Colorado mountains are a very welcome change from southern Wyoming sagebrush high plains.

Yesterday, I went to my highest altitude yet (9,683 feet).  Tomorrow is Hoosier Pass, the highest point I will bicycle to on this trip (and perhaps ever) at 11,542 feet.

Slogging Through Southern Wyoming

Oops--this was written two days ago but somehow did not get posted!

The past couple of days have not been particularly interesting as far as riding or scenery goes.  Today, in fact, was rather unpleasant--riding on a busy road with 65 MPH speed limit and a crumbling shoulder through sagebrush wasteland!

I did still meet some interesting people, however, Emily and Cailin, teachers who are on a bicycle tour raising money for a school (see more at http://openroadopenschool.weebly.com/), and Michael and Lee, who are riding their motorcycles to the Arctic Circle!!

Cailin, Andre, Emily, and Bullwinkle and friends!
