AMEN, Kevin -
It was only a few hundred miles drive for me, but I was afraid the weather would have been WAY too hot. As it turned out there were plenty of clouds to not only block the potentially deadly sun but to add some texture to an often nearly featureless sky. (See [chasingtrains.smugmug.com] for proof.)
Even better would be for #18 to run from Auntie-Neato to Big Horn & back — scenery roughly equivalent to her glory days on Mt. Montgomery Pass!!
