Nancy drove me to where I got off route, she brought her propane tank to be topped off. I forgot my cap and coffee cup, so she went back to the campsite with the tank to bring me my items left behind. Upon her return we had breakfast at My Sister’s Place.
Once back on route I dropped into the valley to pick up route 9 that will bring me to the small town of Guffey, CO. This will be where I sleep tonight.
Today is a short mile day, 24 miles. Climbing back out of the valley was most of this day’s ride, but the sun was out, I had no headwind, and the views were wonderful.
Once in Guffey I met Bill, the host and Ken, his assistant on the roadside working on a large carved sign. Bill pointed to the building I would be sleeping in. This is an old gold rush town and I am staying in the building prospectors brought their gold to sell.
Main Street is a museum of the old buildings.
