Today was another tough weather day. We started with a heavy cloud cover, cold spitting rain and a strong wind. The rain continued all day but we never got a heavy downpour, just a light rain all day. We rode into the wind for only 3 km and it kept us down to 15kph but as we turned east the wind was at our back or a crosswind all day. The stretch between Arco and Idaho Falls is one of the most barren stretches we have traversed. The only civilization for 100 km was the atomic reactor development facilities of the US government. We detoured 3km to the south to see the EBR1-Experimental Breeder Reactor but we were 3 days too late because the visitor centre had closed after Labour Day i.e. last Monday.
