Day 2 Another Long Day

A plane passing by as we got gas
Virga clouds
We were up at 5:30 and on the road by 7:30.  Dee Dee led us out of Gillette and on both sides of the road were lots of antelope luckily they stayed away from the road.  As we headed out after lunch we notice there was looming black cloud with virga coming down in a number of places.  The 2nd checkpoint was at the American Best Value Inn in Craig, CO operated by the local Harly club. Providing cold drinks, fresh fruit, and lots of sugary foods.  We noticed that we crossed the Colorado river twice in "COLORADO"  and we also crossed the Continental Divide twice.  As we started getting into Colorado it became more greener, more trees. We had 10 more miles of construction continuing to hone our dirtbike skills. By our opinion we certain that Wyoming's state budget is generated by traffic ticket revenue.  "But we managed not to contribute to their revenue."
