Long day but pretty good.  Flat rear tire ~20 miles from Baggs; found two wires in the tire, changed the tube, may try to repair original tube later.  Last ~12 miles followed the Muddy Creek valley, gentle descent all the way into Baggs.  Lots of antelope, two coyotes & one dead rattler. No lunch other than energy food so went straight to only restaurant in Baggs, the Rio Restaurant - great Mexican, rivaling El Burrito.  Campground several miles out of town so staying at the Country Inn motel - very nice.  Craig, CO tomorrow.  Guy told me I have to climb to 7500 ft about 15 miles south of Baggs - oh well, slow and easy.

Milestone 2-C - on I-80 west of Rawlins

Vastness, on & on

Creston Jxn - Hoping to eat here, but, they're closed

Drilling rigs and oil pumping stations all over the place

Milestone #2-D - on 789 ~35 miles north of Baggs

This concludes Milestone #2, finally

Overland Stage line historic marker.  Antelope in background, just above marker

Man-camp ~15 miles north of Baggs.  Oil & gas and pipeline companies build these camps for temporary workers.  Looks a bit like a prison dormitory, surrounded by fencing and in the middle of nowhere, literally.
