Day 37

Sheridan Lake, CO to Ordway, CO, about 86 miles. (Note: speedometer stopped working for the last five miles so there will be five fewer miles recorded at the end of the trip.)  Today was hot.  The terrain began to change, with some sunflowers and small cacti and desert shrubs lining the road.  Had another flat part of the way.  Towards the end of the day, I had a homemade cinnamon roll from a cafe in Sugar City which was really great.  Just after leaving Sugar City, the outline of the Rockies appeared on the horizon.  Now I'm getting ready to climb!  Rens and I are staying on a ranch in Ordway tonight owned by Gillian, where I got to feed goats, horses, and birds.

Also, I missed a milestone from yesterday.  I am now in Mountain Time.
