Day 10

Thought I'd shave 21 miles off the route by bypassing "Burke". Not sure it helped since The campground is in a remote, hilly area and will provide a challenging exit tomorrow. Definitely preparing me for weeks to come.

Met some gracious ladies in Geddes today. It is sad though, to see such towns in decline.

Platt, on the other hand seems to be thriving. Stopped by the local ice cream shop and met one of the two police officers in town. He assured my, nothing exciting ever happens in Platt. They DO play rock music though, at the "Platt Food Market.

The forecast for tomorrow is rain with East wind. That's a fair trade.
