07.15.10
Dillon, Mt - Jackson Hot Springs, Mt
Miles: 49
Sleep: Jackson Hot Springs Lodge

I'm sitting right now at a bar with a very nice seasoned cowboy who
bought my huckleberry daquery. He said rule one is buy all the pretty
ladies at the bar a drink. While we were drinking he put on some
American classic music on the jukebox. The hard days ride is coming to
a fantastic end. We went over two mountian passes today. Both about
7,000 feet. The view at the top was breathtaking.
Tonight we are staying at a lodge with its own hot springs. This was
the first time on the trip I have been in a spring. It was about 108
when we got in. The water was great and a nice way of getting away
from all of the Mosquitos. There are so many mozzies here, we were
warned about the blanket of them that would greet us into town. It's
not that bad, but close.

We also met a group of cyclists today who started May 21 in Yorktown.
They seem like they are having the time of their lives just like us.
