In looking over my maps, I've got some REALLY hard days ahead. The terrain's going to be at least as hard as the Rockies, but with far fewer services, and it'll get very hot. It starts tomorrow with a 74 mile dead zone! (but just one 2,000' climb).
There's a good shot I don't get any reception tomorrow since I'll be at a primitive campsite at Lake Powell with no town around me.
I mentioned that there won't be any huge climbs left, but I actually have three: two coming up and one at the very end. If I was going east, there'd be one climb that'd be 8,000 feet! Fortunately I get to go down this at the very end (it's the Sierra Nevada pass).
Anywho, resting in Blanding. 1,148 miles left. 45.9 mi/day for Aug 1 (down from 49.7). 35.9 mi/day for Aug 7 (down from 40.8).
