After Flaming Gorge we hung out in Rock Springs for a couple of days dry camping at the Super Walmart, which actually has a nice view of the valley to the west. We visited Bitter Creek Brewing in the old town area and had a few local brews along with some great appetizers. The second day we rode our bikes around the old town area. It was a little stormy both days, and it rained pretty hard the first day right after we left Matt and Connie. From Rock Springs we headed east to Rawlins, WY where we hooked up with old college friends who moved there 35 years ago to run a State Farm Insurance agency. It's always great to reconnect with old friends, and this was no exception. We were there two days and toured the now closed State Pennitentiary.....very, very cool tour. From there we meandered down to Denver and spent an afternoon with David and Denise Zonker....so great to see them after a couple of years! We are now 165 miles east of Denver in Stratton, CO for the night. Tomorrow Kansas!
