urban rural

This part of the tour is very technology dense it seems, as I am finding a computer every day. I am now in Silverthorne, a town built for tourists, so it is full of cookie-cutter vacation homes and outlet malls.
This morning I stayed in Kremmling for breakfast; they had a place that opened at 6. I ate with a couple of guys doing the transamerica route on road bikes. They were nice guys, just finished their engineering degrees and doing one big trip before starting real jobs. It was nice to have a real breakfast (I haven't stopped for breakfast since mcdonalds in Butte) with real conversation with real people. I can only sing to myself so long.
The ride into town started with a long climb and then a descent on highway 9, possibly the busiest highway on the route. I'm relieved to finally be off it, as I can take a dedicated bike path now to my campsite tonite.
