provo to price to green river




No email last night after a REALLY hard day, I think the hrdest so far. We started out good leaving Provo but then turned uphill into a canyon with probably 30 mile an hour headwinds, went on for about 6 miles then downhill into a wonderful sagstop--icecold creek that I stuck my feet in--wow! After that was another huge uphill with more headwinds and lots of road construction, no shoulder and pretty darned scary. There was an OLD cafe up top, Butch Cassidy actually went thru there years ago and there was lots of old stuff--kept looking for Paul Newman and Robert Redford but no such look. We then had about 15 miles of muchlooked forward downhill but still a massive headwind, took all the fun out of it. We only did 65 miles but I was so done by the time we got there I almost skipped dinner but actually managed to polish off a plate of pasta, asleep before dark. really great social life on this trip!! Today was mostly downhill and short--68 miles -- into Green River, Got here before lunch and there's NOT anything here but it actually feels good.
