Return trip - Day 42 - Estes Park, CO

About 10 miles were biked today - but not exactly where we had hoped or planned. True to Bike Trip 08 form, Rocky Mountain National Park's Trail Ridge Road remained closed today due to snow and winds upward to 50 mph. The outlook for tomorrow is uncertain. That said, it was a beautiful day in Estes Park despite paying $4.39/gallon for the first time ever -- a reason to wish we were biking back.

Along those lines, the gas meter in the car decided to stop working tonight and is accompanied by an unnerving, strange smell... Leaving us yet another indication that pedaling is an all around better mode of transport.
