Interim Post 4.....

Well, I've had the resident computer wizard in our group look at my computer and he thinks I have a hardware problem, so I'll be working on getting that fixed on Friday in Casper.

We biked over the continental divide yesterday - from Jackson, WY to Dubois, WY - (though we had to have a few shuttle rides through construction) and today we had what Trip Leader Mike said was a "rolling rest day". Translated that means an 80 mile ride with a few more downhills than uphills and a headwind in 90+ degree heat......

I had a special treat today. When I got in to the hotel after today's ride, Sally Bartlett's sister came by with a hand delivered care package - she had a plate full of homemade goodies and some watermelon for me and my roommates - yum! (Sally is a co-worker of mine.) Thank you Mary Morrison - the treats will be gone by morning!

Tomorrow we bike 120 miles from Riverton, WY to Casper, WY. I will be glad when we are done with this one, it's going to be a long, long, long, long day.....

Hi Jean Bean,

Happy 4th! I hope you're sleeping soundly at this time. Clara saw her first fireworks tonight at Washington Park with Garrett. She was impressed.

I hope you get your computer problem solved soon!

Washington Island was great. Wonderful weather. Mom and Dad came for a couple of days and we hiked to the Rock Island lighthouse. I picked up more Siever's info for you!

I am so, so proud of you. You'll be out of those mountains soon and into gentle, rolling hills...
Love,
Sarah

You have my utmost admiration! I was thinking of you while I pushed the grocery cart from the store to my car & was wishing I had parked closer - and that was BEFORE the temperature reached the triple digits!
