On Friday, Chuck and Leah made it to Briggsdale where, Leah said, they were devoured by hungry mosquitoes. So they ate a modest dinner and got to bed early and hit the road the next morning heading for Sterling Colorado. Leah said they had to battle some nasty side winds over the past few days. In Sterling, they met DeDe a wonderful helpful person who directed them to the next campsite down the road (DeDe also posted a in the Blog!). Next morning they awoke to a flat tire on Leah's bike from a thorn or a thistle which in an attempt to repair it, exploded, causing much excitement and a few yuks. Today, (August 31) they put in 50 miles and made it to Holyoke Colorado where they camped at the park and ate Chinese at the local wok joint. Tomorrow they are going to have to change routes because Rt 6 is too windy and will therefore regrettably be unable to see the friends they met at an RV park, Kevin and Melissa Hart who invited them to stay a night in Nebraska. They should cross into Nebraska tomorrow on route 30 which begins their journey into the the American heartland.
