Sitting in a local Starbucks looking at the maps for the next portion of our trip. We’re in outdoor recreation paradise and it’s reflected in the prices. The campground we considered for tomorrow, Echo Canyon, wants $50 for a tent camping site! Proximity to the Arkansas River above the Pueblo Reservoir and nearness to Royal Gorge seems to have inflated prices to absurd levels. We’ll cut tomorrow’s ride short and stay in the city park in Florence. Florence’s claim to fame is as the location of America’s most secure federal prison, housing many notorious individuals. Not much of a tourist attraction I guess.
There’s a Red Flag Warning for the Pueblo area today. The temperatures should top out in the mid-90’s with 5% relative humidity, and strong winds. Tomorrow promises to be cooler.
More later.
So far:
Trip miles=2131
Trip days-42
Daily average=50 miles

I hope you and Steve aren't considered notorious! Record high today(O'Hare reading)at 97 degrees! Have a good ride tomorrow in cooler temperatures!
Hotter there than here! We may go beyond Florence after talking about it further.
