June 24, 2009, Jeffrey City to Rawlins, WY


Picture: Tom Ekholm, a Great Divide biker from New Zealand shows his sun protection: Lady's black panty hose sections. It really works, but looks a little strange. It works, so Tom could care less about the looks.

We met Thomas Ekholm and Julie Williams, both from New Zealand. They were riding the Great Divide trail from Canada to Mexico. Thomas is pretty creative. He wears the brim of a wide brimmed hat, and the legs of two pairs of black ladies panty hose on his arms and legs to eliminate the need for sun block lotion. He looks pretty silly, but on the Great Divide, who cares?

We crossed the great divide twice today. It was a rather hot and dry, and tiring day.

Today’s miles: 71.
