Ride Description  

Today's ride can be described as a lot of open space. The plan was to ride to a community called Atlantic City, get gas and then ride to Rawlins. When we got to Atlantic City we found out that there was no gas and has not been any for years. The town appeared to be a ghost town with a few people living in it. We found a guy in the area and he had 5 gallons of gas that we could get. We needed more and Jeff said that he was good at getting gas from ranchers along the way, so we continued. Jeff has done this several times in Mexico. This is where we learned that this part of WY is much more remote then Baja Mexico. Our first ranch was 50 miles later and there were no people there, just as couple of dogs. He looked around and could not find any gas. So we continued and Jeff ran out of gas with 40 miles left. So we took some gas from Charlie's bike. Then 20 miles later both Jeff and Charlie ran out of gas. So we took more gas from the remaining bikes. Then 10 miles from Rawlins, Chris ran out of gas. We went to town and got more gas.
