It looked like I was heading straight into a big storm. I was excited and apprehensive. Just as I was riding into Olney Springs, I met a headwind that I could barely stand still against. I rode just another 100 feet with all my strength and gained shelter at a small restaurant. I hung out with the owners a bit as I ate dinner. I could tell they were considering offering me to a place to stay, but then decided not to risk it with a stranger. I tented in the rain on a field across the street.
