For the past three days we rode through the Utah desert. Temperatures for all three days in the middle 90s and with no services between Hanksville and Blanding (139 miles). It was uphill. It was hot. It was windy. It was difficult! Tonight we are resting well in a Blanding motel. The past two nights we slept in our tent. In Hite, we slept in a deserted campground and in the National Bridges Campground, we shared a tent site with a couple from Switzerland.
More on this three day journey tomorrow.
The WiFi is not very good where we are so no pictures can be uploaded tonight. Tomorrow a Day 33 post will be forthcoming with pictures and the gory details.
So good to hear from you, I ran downstairs this morning to check the blog! Your awesome trip of a lifetime continues! Three days in the desert, unbelievable! Can't wait for the story!
ReplyDeleteJust heard Michelle scream a little when your Blog came up and her comment was accepted. She has tried a number of times to comment on past posts, with most of them not going through. So she was very happy to have this one posted. Sounds like you guys could use a day off after 3 days in the desert. Stay safe and have fun!
ReplyDeleteWe have been waiting so long to hear from you both.. So happy to read something today! We have been thinking of the good and bad of your ride through the desert. At least I knew you were both okay; last night when I called Jen (you were on the other line) Spent some time with Annette yesterday. Love you both, take care and be safe....
ReplyDeleteHope you are resting up!
