June 24 & 25 Day 20 & 21...So Sunday I was heading toward Wray, Colorado when a bigger weather front than the previous day sent me south, unbeknowns into Kansas, ending up in St. Francis. Originally I set my tent under a tree thinking that the front would stay in Colorado...I was so wrong! Fortunately I had wised up and moved tent under a shelter where I was 'mostly' protected from the nickled sized hail and sixty mph winds. The 'good thing', it lasted only a half hour or so.
In the morning I enjoyed a wonderful latte and a special whole foods breakfast at 'Fresh Seven Coffee'. What a cool retrofit of of a cargo trailer. That along with their motorcycle repair shop make this a 'goldmine' find and town.
The trip continued Colorado bound to stay the evening at an old Air Force friends house, who was my 'best man' of our wedding, almost 34 years ago. The visit and trip down nostalgia lane with Dave and LaRae gave way to the amazing fing that another Air Force friend and my groomsman lived an hour north. Thus today I had a great meal at 'Chocolate Rose' in Wellington with Mike Harte. Afterwards, Mike joined me for 20 miles of my ride toward 'Cameron Pass'. And now I find myself resting at very nice motel in Walden, Colorado which is home of an amazingly beautiful valley called 'North Park'. |

My 'moment by moment' thinking has given more special days along this trip than what I could have planned for and today to ride through the Rockies, wow! So...until the next moment:)
