And thanks to you for all the help with identifying things!

Thanks for the ride!

Thanks for taking us along, Marilyn! I enjoyed the journey!!

Thanks for all the nature photos!

Thanks Greg - Iowa was one of those surprising states, at least where we were with some decent biking and dancing. I think I will pass on the February ride, though. WAY too cold and probably snowy and icy!

We didn't check the prices for these tents, but I bet they were cheaper than Gateway. But no bathroom inside would be a deal breaker unless that was the only option.

Well, you've sure had a long and adventurous trip. I'm glad you got to spend a little time cycling in my old home state--Iowa. The High Trestle Bridge and the Patee Hotel are pretty special. A couple times I rode in an annual organized bike ride that begins in Perry, goes to Ripley, and then back to Perry. It happens on the first Saturday in February, no matter the weather. (It's usually pretty darn cold.) It's called The BRR. (Bike Ride to Ripley)

Hopefully all will be well when you get home and you'll be able to rest up for your next trip.

There’s someone on Airbnb in Gateway, advertising a galamping tent for $150. A night. Highway robbery, except the Gateway Resort is over $400.

I looked at the tent for this spring. I saw no mention of either heating or AC. In this case, it sounded like regular tent living except for the upgraded bed!

I didn’t end up going at all.

Gateway in the summer, without AC would be miserable!

Here’s wishing you uneventful travels!

Your new truck!

Did the runner have a clue what happened?

We were rear ended at a stop light. The lady behind us started going when it turned green, not noticing that we were in front of her! It was low speed, not much damage, but more excitement than we needed.

Water towers too!

Definately worth riding. This area seems to be trike heaven as they are the only bents we've seen.

Worth seeing for sure!

Thanks!

Thanks Bill!

That is so true! Especially in eastern Colorado.
