After hiking up a mountain next to my camp, I soon reached the border. Right afterwards the road got verry bad and I had a flat tire. Only an hour later I cycled directly into a huge thunderstorm which turned the whole road into a single mud slope. After a long fight I reached Chicken, where the road starts to be paved again. Soon after I stopped at a river to clean my bike and when it started to rain again, I decided to simply stay therefor the night.
