The rain started last night. I was hoping to make it all the way to Boulder, but the conditions weren’t good so I stayed at a classy motel in Johnson Colorado.

The next day I made my way towards Boulder, though I did run into an obstacle or two.

Here’s a little creek. It’s usually only eight feet wide. Fortunately, the bridge over it was fine.

Next up was the road to Meade. The trucker in the picture warned me that roads in Longmont were closed.

So, I got through the soggy dirt road (much better than a sandy road and made better by new tires) and got to Longmont. It looked like this:

This guy who converted his Porsche to electric drive gave me directions to get over the last open bridge over the river in Longmont.

After that my phone was too wet to work, so no more pictures and no Google maps. I had to ask lots of folks for directions. I was glad I happened to remember Lucy and Ole’s address. Once I arrived more than a little wet, it was time for a walk in the rain! Sabine was all ready to go and there’s no taking back a promise to a toddler. The walk was fine with a freshly toweled head and a dry hat.
