Yesterday was hard and so was today. The headwinds and crosswinds slow us down by a couple miles per hour. A couple miles out of Crawford we saw a sign "scenic overlook two miles." it was a steep hill but we've done worse. The rest of the day was hilly and windy. Even riding downhill was challenging. When we got to Harrison it was tempting to stop but the winds today weren't expected to be better so we kept going. We crossed the border and stopped in Van Tassell which has only a couple people and the first American legion post. We finally saw Lusk and it looked only a few miles away but as we got closer it seemed to get further away.
Today we left late thinking the 55 miles would be easier. The winds kept the ride from being easy but there were more towns and we sat around here and there. After a lot of breaks and only 53 miles we stopped.
Two hard days mostly due to wind. Maybe we'll make it to Casper tomorrow.

I love checking this site to see how you are doing. Really curious as to what route you will take the rest of the way. Around or through Yellowstone? Whatever, the scenery from this point on definitely improves. Best Wishes.

ReplyDeleteWhere's Hari? If it's not the rain, it's the wind-and WY is considered to be the windy state! Love the pics. Love, MT mom
