67/1224/3140 Long lonely ride today, got a later start as the van alarm went off at 2:21 am and we had a hard time getting back to sleep , then hard time getting up and going. Very hilly roller coaster ride today, short steep up, then short fast down for 55 miles....flattened out in the last 12 miles into Circle. Nice little motel room in Circle decorated from the 60's rumpus room, dark panelling and shag carpet. Lots of deer and prong horn today, cattle as always and a huge flock of sheep in one spot, hundreds all in about a square mile. Lots of locusts again, in the face, helmet and sticking to legs. No places to stop except a rest area with a picnic table under a shade tree, a welcome stop spot out of the sun. Only averaged 13 miles per hour today as it was slow going on the roller coaster hills. Tomorrow some more of the same but then it looks like it flattens out going into poplar about 75 miles up the road. Looking for a good diner tonight at the only restaurant here, next door.
Jim, Suz and Beau
