After a long day followed by a hard day, today was short and easy.
I woke up feeling much better after bonking yesterday.
We delayed our departure while the sun dried our wet tent. After a snack food breakfast we hit the road and stopped at the first and only cafe along the way for a better breakfast. We had an easy ride with a tailwind over easy rolling hills. The weather was clear and not too hot. At 41 miles we reached our stop, Muddy Gap.
The terrain has a stark beauty, but is so dry it barely even supports ranching. The mountains rise abruptly from the scrub valley land.
We haven't seen any deer or pronghorns in a couple of days but did see some wild horses today.
Muddy Gap consists of a gas station with a convenience store, and a mobile home with two motel units. After the rigors of yesterday, it looked good. The pic is not fair: our room is as good as most decent motels'. Topping off the day, the store makes their own gelato- good, too.
