July 7, rode 75 miles from Rawlins, WY to Ladder Ranch WY/CO. I will say we were glad to be gettin out of Rawlins, while the gettin was good. We were glad to be back riding after a lazy day, began to get into more terrain with trees. It is nice to have a splash of green! As we rode into Colorado, a major storm was building and looked to be moving in the direction where we were initially headed. So we decided to change direction and take the alternate root toward some camping/lodging. Well then the storm changed direction and began following us. We had a difficult time finding Ladder Ranch as we overlooked it in the description of services and only had a symbol along the route to go by. Stopped and asked some people, they were unsure, finally stopped a car and sure enough our luck returned and the lovely lady lived on the Ranch and told us where to go. Just as we were shown our rustic cabin, the storm unleashed it's fury, while we were safe and secure inside. I tried to add some drama here, though it really wasn't that dramatic, though again we had some good luck and good timing. The ride was beautiful, came across a herd of sheep, one sounded like he needed a throat lozenge, they were everywhere on the road.
