Broke camp under rainy looking skies and 37 degrees. But the forecast called for only a 40 percent chance of showers, partly sky skies with a high close to 60. I stuffed myself on a breakfast buffet hoping that my delay might bring better weather. It didn’t. By the time I got into the saddle a steady very cold rain was falling. I put on virtually every piece of clothing and was still cold, especially my hands. By the time I had done 22 miles I was in need of warmth. I stopped at Flagg Ranch Information Station and asked if they had a room for the night. Fully booked. As I huddled in a chair trying to get warm, Daren, the desk clerk, called ahead to Colter Bay and found they had a single cabin available. I booked it but waited for two hours of warming before pedaling the 20 miles to get here. By the time I arrived the sun was out. Since I cut my day short I did laundry, visited the excellent Indian art museum here and ate a good meal. My cabin was built in the 1930's on a ranch near here but moved here in the '90's.
