After yesterday being so cold and wet we were very happy to wake up warm and dry. All our cloths had dried out in our motel room which normally never happens. The morning was cold, cloudy and windy but we were happy it wasn't snowing. In fact off in the distance we could see a small patch of blue sky. Today wasn't the most exciting day of biking. In fact it was a little boring. This is because for about fifteen miles we had to ride on the freeway. Trucks were flying past us, but it didn't seem too bad because of other traffic experiences we have had on our bikes. Since we were on a highway though it was straight, flat and boring. As we rode on the freeway towards Rawlins I kept thinking of what I wanted to cook that night. I have been eating the same things over and over so I was trying to think of ways I could expand my diet. I was actually getting pretty excited to try new things to cook on my camp stove.
Once at Rawlins we went to a grocery store. I got some cereal planning to by small cartons of milk at a gas station if I wanted a bowl, hotdogs, pasta with pesto, eggs, and some different foods to snack on. Once leaving Rawlins we had 40 miles to get to our camp spot and it was already 4:30pm. As I rode I tried to go around all the potholes in the road. I didn't want to break my eggs... my plan was to hard boil them as soon as we set up camp.
We ended up riding till ten at night to get to the camping spot. There was a good headwind the whole way which slowed us down. I was pretty tired by then, but I still wanted to cook a good meal. By the time we had set up camp, cooked, and got in our sleeping bags it was almost midnight.
