Well here i am cold and windblown but thankful for no rain except when i was trying to leave. got a late start around 8 and made it to the campsite around 2. Wind was fierce today and blowing me around. Storm clouds kept rolling along behind me. The guy at the park just told me the weather has been colder, wetter, and windier than normal. now imagine that! Just like i would have ordered! Mountains are fairly easy climbs but long and time consuming ( like most school days ) . Tomorrow may be interesting as there is NOTHING but highway between here and my next camp site. Maybe i can find some roadkill and heat up the ole pop can stove and be like a regular hillbilly. I miss everyone ( even the dogs ). The scenery is spectaclar and makes the riding more fun! I am sending a couple more pics and if i ever go through a town i will try to send one beside water and rocks. I have learned that the names on my maps are not towns , just places! :-) I was thinking if Charlotte was here she would pu Christmas lights on all the pine trees!
