Day 31 - Steamboat Springs to Stagecoach Lake

For those of you following us on Spot, you may have noticed he haven't covered much ground in the past few days. This is because there have been incessant thunderstorms and showers and there have been flash flood warnings every day.

As we were about to leave Steamboat, the rain and lightning came. We decided to just hang out in the library and see if we could wait out the rain. We played checkers, cards, and g built an awesome house of cards. We finally took off after dinner and made it to stagecoach lake. We camped there for the evening next to a fellow British rider.
