A Hostel in Ordway, CO


Today was a littler warmer, and 60 more miles. That means over 200 of the 2000 miles are behind them. They passed 3 groups of bikers going East; (it validates their own craziness) a couple on a tandem, a young woman alone, and another couple who left from Oregon and are going to Virginia. The Gray-Beards are in Ordway Hostel (yes, Hostel) tonight, at $20 each for a room and a shared bathroom. Sounds like it could be exciting. Its right next to the park, which they decided to pass on (park bathroom pictured). Mel is having great success with his Chocolate Milk revitalization program. (Neil has asked him to please keep his appreciative moaning to himself.) They will get an earlier start tomorrow since they won't be packing up tents and bags. It has been about 9 am by the time they pack up and eat breakfast. They'll look for a bike shop for additional supplies in Pueblo tomorrow night. The bottoms are still tender and tin-ish. No iron-buns yet, but they are still hoping.
