Day #57-Cameron to Twin Bridges, MT 56 miles

Another cloudy day with a chance of rain that never materialized.  One tough climb of 2000’ but overall a downhill day.  A gusty wind throughout the afternoon was tough as well.  We had lunch in Virginia City.  None of us was sure if this was THE Virgina City from Bonanza.  We all could see the map burning in the opening, but not the details of the map.  I think it was in Navada!  They sure did strike gold in these parts however!

We stayed in the bike camp in Twin Bridges, along with seven other bikers, including Finley. Two guys were in the TransAm race, there for the night.  A couple, Scott and Sara, who’ve been cycle touring almost nonstop since 2014! Another couple, Zack and Jill, are doing the TransAm route to Oregon and then plan to hike the Pacific Crest Trail!  It was Zack who said something I’ve long believed, just when you think you’re the craziest MF’er on the planet, you hear about someone doing something even crazier!
