Day 37: Kremmling

Distance: 69 avg:12.8

The spot that I camped in last night was spectacular in it’s serenity. What really made it was when nature called in the night, I went outside and the stars were just stunning. Like nothing I’d ever seen before. If I wasn’t in my boxers I would’ve ogled longer.

Making the decision to quit yesterday worked. I powered up to 9600 feet without the headwind which plagued me. Oh and I got some Bengay, mom! I think it worked. the downhill to Hot Sulphur Springs was equally fun. I even enjoyed the truly torrential rain on my way to Kremmling.

But the rain, while an interesting challenge, was not what I wanted to spend the night in. I checked in to a hotel in Kremmling. My room had a spa/jacuzzi style tub. After the rain I relaxed in style.

Tomorrow is potentially terrible weather at a high altitude. We’ll see what’s out the window. If this afternoon’s downpour continues into tomorrow I’m getting some rest. Tuesday’s forecast is bad but Wednesday looks up.
