Without planning, we all managed to arrive at the designated breakfast spot, Boogies Diner, at the same time. When I was leaving the Diner we met two Great Divide racers on the way in. We chatted very briefly. They certainly looked worse for the wear, but were in good spirits.
Sara exits the state's best rest area. The restrooms are wall papered and have pictures and hanging plants instead. A rest area? Yes, indeed. Worth a stop even if you don't really need one.
Hwy 149 is squashed between towering red rock cliffs and the river for much of the distance between South Fork and Creede. We had a nice tailwind to push us up to Creede - and a bit of rain . . . .
This is a classic shot of John C. and Mike. It's a good thing Mike came on the trip to keep John busy looking in his rear view mirror. Mike tells almost as good of stories as John. Evenings were certainly entertaining - as you can see.
Tom brought his wife Ginny along to drive SAG for us. She took all of these photos and I don't have a single one of her! The consequences of always being behind the camera. Ginny was a lively addition to the tour.
