Road to Limon, Colorado.

We woke up this morning a little later than normal, packed up and headed out. We stopped at a nearby gas station to fill up our water becuase there would be absolutely no serivices for 75 miles until we got into Limon. So the morning ride started off chilly with a nice head wind. We had decided since we would not be stopping at a place to eat for lunch we would stop every 10 miles and have a snack instead of taking one long lunch break. That was working out fine until we hit the very little town of Last Chance. We stopped there and took a picture for Chance and found a picnic table in the shade. Here we sat and to take a little break and a super duper short nap. The only problem with not being able to stop for lunch is we did not get our Mt.Dew fix for the day. So while we were sitting in Last Chance hoping a Pepsi truck would go by. Now if a Pepsi truck were to go by Chance would run out and try to stop it and we would beg for them to sell us a Mt.Dew. But no luck with the Pepsi truck. So off we were again heading to Limon. The day started to get very hot with no wind and many large rolling hills. We got to one point where we both ran out of water and we still had about 15 plus miles to go. Now we both have 4 water bottles and did not think we would run out. So Chance saw on the GPS that there as a river, so upon approaching this river we were going to get some water to get us through the trip. So we get to this so called river, and what did we find? We found nothing but two puddles. Oh no, not good. So there was a house nearby where we went up to the door and knocked yelled and so on to see if we could get some water. No luck. But there was a hose on the front of their house so we borrowed some water from them. So, to the farm house right out of Limon thanks for the life saving water! If you're ever in MN and need water come find me! So we finally roll into Limon, both starving and hot. We end up eating at Pizza Hut. It was pretty delicious! From there we went over to the KOA camp ground. Let me start off by saying we have tried to avoid KOA's for one reason..... We had to pay $26 for one night tent spot that did NOT include water or electric. So as you can see the price is the reason we try to avoid such places. From there we set up our tent. I went to shower and I come back to find Chance holding up the tent. He told me the wind flattened it like a pancake. So he had to guide line it while I held it up in this crazy wind and hard rain. But in the end all was good and we did our normal routine at night and hit the hay!
