We arrived in Milford around 7:30pm yesterday to the sweet surprise of cookies and assorted treats thanks to Laurie, Debbie, and Darin. Many thanks to you all for the much needed sustenance! The night before was spent in Baker, Nevada, a tiny tourist town with only a few residents. There we met fellow bikers Peter, Scott, and Andy who are doing the exact same trip as us, and were stranded there due to technical difficulties. Peter, however, was able to fix Jakes broken spoke, which was greatly appreciated. To our surprise, there was a great little artsy motel/restuarant called Silver Jack's where if you eat there you can set up your tent in the back for free. So after some delicious burgers we set up our tents in the back and spent the night conversing with our fellow travlers sharing stories of our trips so far.
The next day we set off for Utah, minus Loren who hitched his way due to a bum knee. After exiting the lying state of Nevada
we had high hopes for our new residence of Utah to pull through for us and be better..... didn't happen.

we had high hopes for our new residence of Utah to pull through for us and be better..... didn't happen. So far Utah sucks just as much as Nevada. It looks the same and we got rained on just as much. Today is supposed to be the last day of rain, and supposedly the terrain should change here shortly, so Utah may just turn out to be better 
than Nevada. We spent the night in a pavilion shared with another fellow rider, Dawn, and a stray dog who insisted on sleeping next to our tent. We awoke to a bible vacation school service for kids who also required the use of the pavilion in the morning.
Today we're taking the day off in Milford and are looking forward to some much needed recovery with the aid of our care packages!
