I only made it [downhill] 50 miles from my big family get-together before another day off. I'm glad I checked the weather forecast before camping out last night--there was thunder and lightning, 70 mph winds and power outages, all of which were much more pleasant from inside my motel room than they would have been from inside my tent. There have been more predicted storms for this afternoon and evening so I've been enjoying downtown Sheridan and have booked one more night to stay indoors. Tomorrow--east on US 14 toward Gillette through what I've been warned is pretty remote country.
The big success story so far today: I had my right-front pannier repaired at King's Saddlery here in downtown Sheridan. A rivet had popped loose and was replaced with a short bolt by the original owner of the bags. This was structurally sound, but would tear apart a plum or loose apple I would happen to put inside. The nice folks there fixed it for me in 2 minutes flat free of charge. So, if you're in need of rope, spurs, a saddle, or things of that ilk, I can heartily endorse King's.
