(6) Rest day in Rawlins. Don't miss this oil refinery scented gem next time you're in southern Wyoming.
(7) 67.63 miles; 6 hrs 21 min; 10.63 mph avg; 3051 feet; more wind than exists in all of the last ten Uomo Donnas combined.
My God. This was the most horrendous day yet, and it was overall downhill. Wind is so much worse than climbing. It cheats. It'll just arbitrarily change direction and speed whenever it wants. And there's no downhill when you're done
fighting it.
Luckily I am still partly alive, and the bartender here in Jeffery city has offered me a bed to crash on. Friendly company here too.
Third and fourth crossings of the continental divide today too. Also, realized I am now further north than all of California.
