Today we had a well-earned off day in Casper. To date, we have cycled 1,359 miles and climbed approximately 48,000 feet. Only three more cycling days before I hit Rapid City and the end of my tour. Part of me is saddened that I won't be part of the ongoing group headed to New Hampshire. But I'll be happy to get home and see Kari and Drew (and Ben, who currently in a summer internship in Delaware).
We are staying at a Ramada about a half mile from downtown. After doing my laundry and cleaning my bike, a few of us headed on a one mile walk to the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. The interactive museum was a quite interesting presentation of the history of the Oregon, California, Mormon and Pony Express Trails that all converged in modern day Casper before going their separate ways.
