Day 39 07/08/09 Gillette > Ucross

Another day of headwind today & a pretty miserable uphill start. No proper starts along the way although I managed to grab a breakfast burrito in a food trailer that was parked up, surrounded by grasshoppers! Few hours later there was a bar.. with a lovely gentleman who had a huge dislike for England because of it’s muslim population. Nice. Was planning to get to Sheridan today (120miles) but pulled up at ‘The Ranch’ to check the weather. Turned out there had been flash flood warnings so I stopped here. Treated very well here (discounted rate) and was bought a wonderful dinner (buffet!) got my washing done to.
