 I cooked my last home cooked meal tonight. It was grilled copper river salmon, shrimp, mushrooms,  and Fettuccine  Alfredo. The Rav is packed, I'm ready to go, I'm  standing here outside your door, already I'm so lonesome I could cry. So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll  wait  for me, hold me like you'll  never let me go.

 Woke up to blue skies and a little chill in the air. The first 35 miles I  climbed,  4860' to Rainy Pass then 5477' to Washington Pass. A total of almost 5100'. Of course it rained and hailed on me the last 1 1/2 miles up to Rainy Pass.  The last 25 miles was all downhill to Mazama, Wa. Used my Warmshowers app and got a great family that took me and my new German  friends in to camp in their back yard.

 The Four days  in Gillette have been relaxing. I've walked downtown a couple of times, boxed up more things to send home to Betty, got in some reading, and watched  a lot of TV. I did knock on the skeletons house door and no one was home. My new rear wheel arrived today and I'm  ready to ride. I was on track to make Ragbrai  before this delay happened.  My station manager Allison and her husband are driving to Iowa to ride Ragbrai. They are picking me up tomorrow and dropping me off in Mitchell, SD tomorrow afternoon. I'll  have about 160 miles  to make it to Sioux City by Saturday  afternoon. Just in time for the start of Ragbrai  on Sunday.
