Rawlins, Wyoming, to Riverside, Wyoming -- 64 miles

We woke at 6:15 am and started biking at 7:45 am. Lorraine had no pain from her injuries, but wore a band-aid on her lip to cover the stitches. There was a lot of road construction, which made the roads quite narrow. We asked the construction workers for permission to ride on the road that was closed off and they consented. Even though the roads were rough, we had no cars to deal with for about 10 miles. We ate our PB&J sandwiches for lunch in a turn-out by the side of the road. We met Walter Francke, a former professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who was biking east-to-west.

We stopped in Saratoga, but there was no camping, so we ate lunch/dinner at Stumpy’s Cafe and continued another 18 miles to Riverside. We stayed at the Lazy Acres Campground, and escaped to our tent early because the mosquitoes wanted to eat us alive.
