Great day – Friggin’ cold start.  Woke up in the middle of the night and put on more clothes.  Chatting with Felix (neighbour across the way from Netherlands), he claimed it ‘wasn’t bad’.  His thermometer apparently said it was -4C.  Packing up the tent, there was frost and ice on everything.

But once you were in the sun, it was a beautiful day.  Some good bits of pavement… And some nice dirt roads packing a small lesson.  Then more random highways down south and winding up in Flaming Gorge.   Much of the day was thoughts of Red Dead Redemption and World of Warcraft…

To the dirt!

Back up. She’s a bit too heavy for me to lift with the roll and top case on.  I still had to dig down into the very deep gravel to back her out.   Once on solid ground, I foolishly tried again and went up the hill…  Promptly getting myself stuck again a third of the way up.  Spinning the back tire, I dug down until her belly stopped me from digging any deeper.   That took some more time to dig out and then I just gave up and turned around.

Never good when a stop requires access to tools. Good thing I bought that Hex key set!
