Why Wyoming is worth one visit

- The wind doesn't just spread itself over the day and night, but instead kicks in at noon and gails until the evening. In random directions.
- The shoulders are awful. It's like you're crossing train tracks every 5 seconds.
- Dead animals on the road are plenty. Not just dead, but completely overrun. I almost added two prairiedogs to that total.
- The wind.
- The amount of trucks on a saturday. I saw more that day than I'd seen on my whole trip.
- The haze limited my views to basically plains for 4 days. But that was actually caused by the Californian forest fires.
- The wind.
- The mosquitoes don't care about the wind.
It's not that Wyoming isn't worth a visit, as it has some nice canyons, but for now I've seen enough of it. Luckily I'm in Colorado!
Some statistical updates:
- Days cycled: 26
- Distance cycled: 2400km/1490mi in 117 hours
- States visited: 6
- Highest altitude: 2944m/9658ft (Togwotee Pass, Wyoming)
- Scariest moments: Truck getting puncture just after it passed me - Car almost running over a deer
- Most religious campsite: Church in Jeffrey City, Wyoming
- Cutest animal seen: Baby squirrel
- Craziest cyclist: Pierre from France, who cycled at night one time and camped in a graveyard

hallo Steven,
vandaag kregen we je kaart, wat iets prachtigs, deze kloof.
Ja, als je regelmatig zulke adembenemende prenten ziet op je weg is het fietsen wel een hele boeiende onderneming he. De kleuren zullen wel niet helemaal echt zijn,maar dit is een tafereel voor een puzzel van 1000 stukjes. Voorlopig is dit plaatje als boekenlegger mijn favoriet.
liefs oma
