Steamboat was a very cute town...I would like to visit there again. Or maybe even buy a ranch close by. Today we had some of the most scenic riding so far. We climbed up Rabbit Ears pass (9420 feet) and there were huge meadows of wild flowers and bubbling streams everywhere. Pine trees, Aspen trees, cool air...wonderful.
Gould is a tiny town that apparently survives on campers. The KOA campsite cost 32 dollars per night. another campsite cost 24. all we really wanted to do was pitch a small tent. we need about ten square feet of flat surface for 7 hours or so. not that hard.
so Steph and I trucked toward a possible campsite 10 miles (and ten thousand feet!) up the road. but the sun was going down, so we decided to pitch a tent by the side of the road.
lots and lots of mosquitoes. twenty for every square inch of your body.
Steph got another flat. The tubes with the long stems do not hold up well against a hand pump. the valve ends up breaking off.
pray for no bears.
