Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'...

As we were riding on I80 into Rocks Springs WY things got exciting.  Dustin took a tumble off his uni rolling away from traffic thankfully, resulting in some nice bruises.  Then we jumped off our unis to avoid a semi crossing the white line into the shoulder behind us.  Next a Wyoming Highway Patrol officer pulled up behind us.  Officer Weitzel was super nice and just wanted to see how we were faring on the interstate and if we had enough food and water and how the ride was going.  We met his brother back in Laramie and his brother had called to let him know we were coming and to keep an eye out for us.  The officer said they kept getting calls from people saying, "There are two unicyclists on the interstate!"  He would tell them, "Ya, OK..."  As if, what's your point?!  They thought they were turning us in but he and we knew it was perfectly legal for us to ride the interstate in WY.  Crazy, but legal.

Riding from Little America to Kemerer WY the other day, a car passed with an Ohio plate that read EZ PHOTO.  It stopped on the side of the road ahead.  A guy got out and videoed and photographed us with various fancy electronics.  Turns out Ed Zirkle is driving around America working on a documentary capturing the lives and stories of those he meets along the way. He happened to pass us that day and captured our story and that very night uploaded it to CNN iReport.

Thanks Wyoming for all the good times!   At the border we stopped to take pictures by the "Welcome To Utah" sign.  We met a guy from Boulder who had planned on parasailing in Utah off a mountain we could see in the distance.  He said usually the winds come from the west which would have been perfect for his sail.  However, he said there has been this weird storm system over the area lately causing the winds to come from the east!  Sorry about your canceled parasail sir, but we believe God is shielding us and guiding our journey with favorable conditions overall!  We continue to marvel at God's hand along our way.
