Oh my gosh it is hot!

Well I'd like to start today's blog thanking everyone we met yesterday at the amazing Hollywood Bar, sorry if I don't remember your names but I would especially like to thank Whiskey Don for the meal last night and Tara and Scott for being so hospitable, sorry if Misha woke you up this morning! Well we actually got up and going a little earlier than normal and it was great. It really helped us out because the heat intensified very quickly! The ride thus far was not too bad. We are currently in Monticello UT. That's right another one bites the dust! 10 states down and 3 more to go. Right away this morning we had a climb out of Dolores and from there on out it was pretty much rollie. We could tell right away that it was going to get hot, the scenery around us quickly began to look more and more like desert as we approached the Utah boarder. We stopped in Dove Creek to grab a little lunch at Deb's Dinner and quickly got back on the road, hoping to beat the really heat of the day. Kelly was the first to fall victim to the heat and began to slow and complain about a head ache so we decided that it would be better to hide inside for a little bit before we pushed on to Blanding. So we continued on to Monticello and took refuge in the local public library. We have spent the last two hours reading, journaling and surfing the net, slowly waiting out the heat of the day and replenishing our body with plenty of liquids. Unfortunately we wont be out of the heat anytime soon. Actually it will only be getting hotter, pray for rain! Tomorrow will be our first real challenge in a while. We will have to travel about 80miles between services and then another 60 miles the next day until we reach a proper town. So wish us luck and continue to follow our progress and we proceed towards California and tackle the desert!
