Day 7 – A not overly blog-able day

Not much to report today.  We left Casper, WY and made it to Boulder, CO in good time.  It was a pretty short day, less than 300 miles.  Tomorrow is longer; we probably should have gone longer today and left less to do tomorrow.  But we wanted to stay in Boulder. 

We found a great burger place, Lark Burger, that really understands gluten-free.  And they have edamame as a side dish!  The hotel is great and they have a great workout room.  After dinner and a workout (we know, wrong order…) we went to a bakery called Boulder Baked that also understands gluten-free.  They are open only from 4pm to midnight, perfect for an after workout snack!

So, we got a workout, a GF dinner and a GF dessert and we’re staying in a very nice hotel.

Otherwise, the day was boring.  We made great time in Wyoming and really bad time in Colorado.  Traffic seemed to build the moment we crossed the border and then we hit a construction zone.  Traveling in the summer is nice, but a lot of these western states run their big roadwork projects then.  But, this is a first-world problem, so we’ll stop complaining now.

Overall the trip has been a blast.  We hit the eastern-most point we will hit.  It was a spot just north of Chugwater, WY.  It was good to see the car’s compass on the west side of ‘S’ for a change.

Tomorrow we head for Santa Fe, the halfway point and the focus of this trip.  We’re 1,710 miles in so far, more than a third of the miles in about a third of the days.
