23 May 18

Miles to go today, so I was up early again. Uneventful, but long drive to Arvada, NW side of Denver, to stay with my old buddies, Rex and Marie. The wind (SW 15-25) was behind me until I crossed into Colorado, where my mileage again dropped precipitously. Kit Carson, CO did not have any fuel and I crept into tiny Hugo, CO, 45 miles down the road on fumes. Dinner at home with Rex and Marie, followed by an excellent smoke on the back porch. The ancient herbal pain-killer worked very well and I slept like a baby.
