The change this week will be dramatic -- flatter terrain, heat routinely in 90's, and increasing humidity as we head east.
Last week was a tough one for me. First day,, Jul 4, Billings MT - Hardin WY was fairly easy at 56 miles, but most found it more difficult than the distance would suggest -- me, too. Seemed like our bodies didn't want to work after a day off. Hardin - Sheridan (85mi), Sheridan - Gillette (112 mi) and Gillette - Newcastle (76 mi) we're physically painful. I finally realized I hadn't been stretching as I usually do, and my back & arm pain we're the result. That night I stretched really well. That and a couple of other changes made and huge difference the next day. See next post for Newcastle - Rapid City via the Black Hills.

Noel & Cindy Gilbrough's Burro trailer , "Baby". Cindy drives the route, they sleep in the Burro, except rest days where we have indoor accommodations, like university dorms. Cindy visits all of the quilt shops en route.
