Day 19-Landing In Blanding (Utah)



Miles Completed Today: 78
Total Miles Completed: 1187
Miles To Go: 2513

With very little sleep due to the heat, a tired duo hit the road at 6:50 AM today hungry, tired, and listless. They ground out the first forty or so miles from the Hite Recreation Area on Lake Powell toward Blanding, UT by 1:00 PM, but were so tired, we pulled in to Natural Arches National Monument and took a four hour rest to get out of the heat. Resuming riding again at 5:30 made the remaining 34 miles to Blanding that much easier. After two hot, rough days, we decided it was time to stay in a hotel and get a good rest and showers, so we're doing that tonight for the fist time in eighteen days.

So you hit the 1,000 mile mark, eh?

Good job.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go pass out.

Hey Guys,

I waved as I flew over you last night on way back from Egypt. Wish I could have stopped in for a while. 1200 miles in 20 days is really something considering all the mountains. You guys are really road warriors out there.
