Nancy and I left Eads at the same time after a pancake breakfast and packing our gear. She and the doggies headed for a campsite she booked in Canon City, CO., I was hoping to sleep in Fowler, CO. 78 miles away and 2 miles off route. The scenery would be more of the East Colorado prairie.
Eighteen miles up the road I see a couple heading toward me on a tandem pulling a trailer. Libby and Rex came from New Zealand to ride the TransAM east. Our nice visit revealed that they were heading to Eads to sleep.
Riding out of Sugar City on a slight rise opened up the horizon in the distance to my first view of the Rock Mountain range off in the distance under the cloudy sky.
My plans to pitch a tent in Fowler City Park fell through, the ACA map was in error. I could not camp there and with a bit of searching I found a motel .2 miles down the road. Tonight I sleep inside and I have a shower!
