Gunnison, CO to Salida, CO

After our moonlit ride we crashed in the Post Office in Gunnison however we were woken by a "morning janitor" at 4:00am. We hurried out of the P.O. and fell asleep under a pavillion in a park and were re-awoken at 7:00am by a park worker. However this guy told us there is a free all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast in the park at 7:30!! What a deal! We sat at the park, read Scriptures and prayed. We departed at 12:00 noon towards our biggest challenge yet...Monarch Pass [11,312 ft] some 40 miles out. We made the ascent by 6:00pm and absolutely flew down the other side into Saliva by 7:30, another 25 miles away. We had tried to make church contact ahead of time to no avail so when we arrived there was no place at the inn. We simply rode around town and passed by several churches with no luck. At 10:00 we rode by the First Baptist Church in Salida and noticed lights still on in the parsonage. So I knocked at the door and was greeted by the pastor George Hill and his son Tyler. These folks are simply the best people in town! They invited us to crash with them. How cool. We will worship with them tomorrow morning. Isn't God good!! All the time.
