Ryan called most recently from Walden, Colorado.  He was riding between thunderheads on his way to Rawlins, Wyoming but managed to find shelter to settle in for the night and let the storms roll through.   He said Wyoming was dry and he is glad to be in the mountains again.  The scenery changed near the border.  Soon he will be gaining a lot of elevation and will be staying at higher elevations throughout a lot of Colorado until he nears Pueblo.
