Thursday July 2nd - noon

Stopped for gas at a town with a population of 2. Gas pump - old one, post office, hardware store, grocery store, and cafe all under one roof. Didn't intend to, but I had a cheeseburger at the place. I have just been having a protein bar for lunch along with a Diet Pepsi. There were a number of rough guys in there for lunch who were oil drillers. I stayed there for an hour talking to them. I learned more about politics, world economy, energy, and oil than anybody would ever want to know. One of the guys owns 300 guns, all different he says. Nice break from riding. Not many people in Wyoming or at least not many on the road. Actually road 80 miles on I-25, but I don't think I saw 10 rigs while I was on it. Cruised along at 70 mph and felt fairly comfortable. I will be in Cody in a couple more hours and it is only 1 pm. Good weather all day.
