Day 20-Goodbye Utah


Miles Completed Today: 82
Total Miles Completed: 1269
Miles To Go: 2431

The guys left at 8:30AM today after a good night's sleep and showers at the motel in Blanding, UT. Today's goal is to ride east on Route 191 toward the Colorado border and to cross it by noon or one o'clock. Dolores, CO is the destination, about eighty miles away. If we arrive early enough, we will try to make a quick run down to Four Corners, the only point in the U.S. where you can stand in four states at once: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, & Utah.

Update: We're in Colorado! Chris, Sean, & Pat met in Dove Creek, CO for lunch and Chris headed on to Dolores, CO to scout out the area and find a camping spot.

The guys rolled in to Dolores, CO around six PM and we poked around town for a little while befoe driving over to Cortez, CO to hit Wal-Mart for some food re-stocking shopping.

what wimps, a hotel. I could have gone maybe 4 or 5 days before a hotel, but 18, you are tough. that ac and the shower must have felt soooo good. the 100 degree days will toughen you up for the humidity you'll eventually run into. keep up great work. uncle tim

Glad you took a day off to enjoy yourselves a couple days ago and stayed in a motel last night. I'm with Uncle Tim, I bet that AC felt great and I bet you all smell much nicer. I bet it's interesting talking to the other groups making the same ride. Hope you're all having a great time. Mom Fitz
