    Yeah I had seen that they were broadcasting more hot weather coming later this week. I Was probably in Tilden when you were in Valentine then. The plan is to go to Valentine, but we'll see, having some foot problems

    Cowboy Trail

    Well yesterday after putting in my miles, I was fancy and stayed at a motel. I had a sixer, did some laundry and walked around the town a bit. I left out pretty early today. The view hasn't been so great because it runs parallel to hwy 275/20. I was nervous setting out for this leg because it's...

    Cowboy Trail

    Well today was a little different. A good portion of the trail was closed, and you're detoured the shoulder of the highway which is where I walked for around 8 miles. Most people moved over, but one guy tried to kinda swerve at me and "roll coal." Too bad his timing is off for that, and it also...

    Thank you, I read through both links, pretty interesting. I tried permetherin before I set out, but I think clothes need a couple treatments, not just one

    I have never heard of that, but will give it a try. The gnats and the no-seeums have also been pretty annoying too. Thank you!

    Cowboy Trail

    My order was lost by Amazon, so I continued down the trail. The older pictures were largely taken in a riparian zone, but I'm now pretty much out on the prairies. It's beautiful in its own way. It's much more austere, so the sunflowers, birds and the odd stalk of corn persisting in the wrong...

    Sugar Beet Harvest

    Not yet, tomorrow I'm interviewing with them but that's just to get put on the solo *waitlist.* Meanwhile, they have double occupancy accommodations available *right now.* Take a peek at their website and see what you reckon. I understand most finish with 3500-4k.

    I'm currently hunkered down in a small town in Nebraska until the 22nd. The front wheels on my cart are failing and I feel so grateful to have caught that in town rather than between. I bought a replacement on Amazon that uses smaller bike tires that I feel will be much more up to the job...

    I don't know how to work the multi quote from a phone, but yes Sage, I'm pushing a cart. I'm also finishing my degree through online classes and it's to much weight to carry. Which brings me to my next post.

    Sugar Beet Harvest

    This thread is for nomads NOT dwelling in an rv: I recently applied to the sugar beet harvest starting in Oct and will paste below what I was told as someone without an rv: "If you DO NOT have an RV, we do have limited housing available at a minimal cost to you. We will require a background...

    It's currently day 4, but let's go back to day 3. The night passed smoothly, more fireflies and coyotes singing to the moon. Also, I'm sure some of yall know this, but cows get weirdly chatty at night. Might be a conspiracy. I set off early, having broken camp by 630 and was down the trail...

    I've heard of chaco canyon and mean to go sometime in the next few years. What in particular struck you so much about it?

    Leather Tramping

    Sounds like you have a nice setup paywise and with the fringe benefits. Coincidentally, and speaking of boats, I'm thinking my next adventure is likely to be rafting down the Mississippi River Huck Finn style

    Cowboy Trail

    Well, day 2 has passed. But let's backtrack to the first night. Wow, fireflies everywhere. I did not expect that at all, and definately lent a little bit of a magic feeling. Also, it got dark. I mean can't see squat without a flashlight dark. But man were the stars overhead shining as bright as...
