Numbstuff wakes up in the Sundance Motel, looks at his bike and sees that he has broken yet another spoke but finds a gentleman in the Pinedale A to Z Hardware store that is a bicyclist hobbyist. He has a small corner of his hardware store set up for bike repairs… Lucky, lucky! We notice that Mr & Mrs Salsa’s bikes are in for cleaning at the same place – we keep bumping into each other! Chip moves on.
Of course, we have to inspect the local brewery, Wind River Brewing Co, so far we have tried about 4 of their beers. The Mango Wheat Beer is pretty awesome! Otherwise it is time to catch up with bike cleaning, paring down the baggage yet again, stocking up with groceries and generally chilling out and recovering from mosquito bites. Dirtbaby, in particular has been bitten numerous times on her legs and butt so that it looks like she has a bad case of measles.We naively thought the energy developments in the area referred to in the guide book would be wind power…… but no, we find that this area is one of the greatest land oil and gas drilling areas in USA which explains the level of traffic. Wyoming - forget oil and gas, just check out and use your wind!
Off tomorrow into the wild Wyoming desert… Wish us luck! This will be a big test for us relating to our resourcefulness. Will not be able to update the blog for the next four days as we will be living with the desert critters...
