Another great morning – finally broke out the stove and am having a cup of coffee before getting started. Trying out the smart phone for this entry.

This morning turned out really difficult. It did start rain showers and cold head wind. I just couldn’t seem to get up to  speed going up the inclines, and even pulling the ICE Wagon for a few hours, I began to think I was really running out of gas.

Then I could see in the distance the picnic stop at the crest of the hill that I remembered. Looking back I took this picture

8 percent next 5 miles no wonder I am a little tireder

the rest of the day went much, much faster with a 7 % downhill for 7 miles (up to 43mph) For the day total was 25.5 miles. Found a great camp site at a park area see tomorrow for more. Only 2 days and 90 miles to Dinner at Helena’s.
