This is the guy Joe who's roller blading across the country. All his stuff is in that cart that he has to push along. This is an absolute mad man. Very cool.
Who knew the desert would be so deserted? I heard I could be without phone service for almost a week. So I can only post photos if I find some wifi, or I can make text posts like this with a wired computer.
So, today's 52.3 miles to Milford, UT was a breeze. The stops for the next week are probably going to be the only towns along the way. The no service stretches are like 60-80 miles, I know tomorrow is 84 miles from town to town. But whatever. I say bring it on!
More importantly I met a dude roller blading across the country today. Wild.
As you can see I fashioned my tshirt into a headband to protect my ears from the sun. (they're looking like beef jerky) Later on I will use duct tape to fashion it back into a shirt.
62.5 miles today. One huge climb, one huge drop. Pretty sure it was the second highest elevation of the trip.
Got some bad info off the maps as well as google, and got stuck at a KOA with their outragous fees. But spliting with Chris makes it not so bad. Plus they have 4 dollar all you can eat pancakes so in the morning I'm going to do my best to get my money's worth.
This was an absolute pleasure to cruise through. At times it was far enough away from the road that you couldn't even hear the cars. There were views of tunnels through mountains. My only complaint was that it only lasted about 4-5 miles.
