We left Muddy Gap knowing there was another big climb. For a 20 mile section it was some of the worst road we've rode on. The traffic was heavier with big trucks and it was scary. The temperature was in the nineties. The mountain looked so close yet 20 miles later we still hadn't reached it. We crossed the continental divide two more times today and rode on a plateau for a while. When we got to Rawlins which is a bigger town, Leah said it's civilization again. And we finally had cell signal after several days of not having anything. We went to Pizza Hut for supper and another cyclist joined us who we had talked to on the road during the climb. Then we made reservations at a KOA Campground and he also stayed there. Later in the evening three other bikers who we had seen three days earlier stayed there also. They had a guitar and a ukulele. Leah brought her ukulele. We met two sisters Carrie and Julie traveling from Minnesota to Utah by car. They offered us fresh strawberries which were yummy. We had an extremely nice visit with them and in the morning they brought us three large coffees, bananas, apples and oranges. Tom, the biker we ate supper with went to the store to get supplies and brought us cookies back. We got attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes today that wouldn't leave us alone. If Leah rode above 16 miles an hour she could out ride them but as soon as we stopped we were covered. When the sisters saw our mosquito bites and sunburn they gave us essential oils to put on. It really helped. We went 46 miles today.
