Modena Utah..

Hello again. Today we woke up at our over priced piece of dirt campsite at the KOA to a fairly cool morning, not cold enough to wear jackets. This was the first campsite ever that other people were up at the same time as us. So we got rolling this morning and stopped at the gas station to fill our tires. Chance got a new tire last night so we had to make sure that had proper air in it. We had a very gradual climb for most of the morning and then reached the summit. It wasn't too bad of a climb. If only all climbs could be as such. We then had a very nice downhill for quite a while. Today so you know was pretty lack luster for the most part. We got into a town called New Castle and stopped at the gas station and had a little something to eat. They told us Modena had nothing in it and we were disappointed because that was going to be our stop for the day. So we decided we would continue riding as far as we could and take a break in the shade and let it cool down a bit. SO we road the flats all the way to Modena about 50 miles from Cedar City. We found an old abandonded building and were going to take up camp for a little rest. So, we sat down and noticed this oasis of vibrant greens and beautiful flowers across the street. We then saw Carol. I needed to use the restroom so I told Chance I would see if she would allow me to do so. But she was so very kind and allowed us to come over have some cool water, and sit on the patio that was cooled by the swamp cooler so it was super nice. WE took a little nap and talked with Carol for a bit. It did not get cooler. So we decided to stay here and again so kind she is allowing us to set up camp in her front yard! She also had the fixings for sammys and some soup that filled us both up! After awhile it finally started to cool down probably around 7pm mountain time. We set up our tent and Carol's husband Vince came home. So we continued to chat while the rain came down in a heavy sheet! So as you can see today was pretty boring for you to read about. Tomorrow we will be in Nevada, a new time zone and closer to our destination of San Fran! Thanks for reading and continue to pray and hope for cooler weather, kind people and healthy bodies!
