It feels lovely! Very lonely. Finally encountered the rough winds of Wyoming that everyone was warning me about. Hard day battling headwinds. Long desolate stretches of nothing.

Miss the mountain rains so much already!

Second half of the day was tough due to headwinds. Such a long and lonely stretch. Miss the mountains already!

The kindness and hospitality of people on this expedition have been extremely humbling and heartwarming.

I told Shaggy about my ride to protect children from sex trafficking. He refused to charge me for the sandwich.

Thanks, Shaggy and team, for your kindness. Really appreciate you guys.

Hell’s Half Acre, and Shaggy.
