Short Day?

Well, last nights sleep was a little off due to the immense train traffic at night. Man are those things loud. The dogs also like to bark at nothing so every once in a while I would wake up to that. But all in all the night cooled down and sleeping was pretty good. When our alarm went off the sun was still not up so we went back to sleep. This mornings ride was very easy to say the least. The only climb we had was Panaca Summit. Once we got to the top there it was pretty much all downhill from there. We FINALLY got into Nevada!!! That means we are almost home and ready to be back. It's been a long time away, but an unforgettable adventure. So we stopped in Panaca at the gas station to grab a little snack and some Mt.Dew. We didn't get our Mt.Dew yesterday and it is crazy because Chance and I actually got headaches from our lack of caffeine. So we asked what the road was like to Caliente and they told us it was pretty flat one little hill. So when entering Nevada we also entered the Pacific time zone. So we got into Caliente at 9:00 am and had already done 47 miles and our stopping point for the day! You may ask why so early? I will say today it was already 88 degrees by 8am. So if you go into the afternoon you hit the 100 degree mark and it is horrible to be in. So we stopped and were going to do our laundry but had to stop at the bank to get some change. We ran into a very wonderful and hospitable man named Carl who is our life saver and has been a great help. After our laundry was finished Carl took us to his house hooked us up with some cool temps, lunch, shower and a nice place to sleep! He is defiantly a man of all trades. He designed and built his own house that is absolutely beautiful. Also his cool cars that he restores! Carl thank you for everything! We are now going to continue to rest and have such wonderful conversation with Carl. Thanks again for supporting us and we will hopefully see you all soon!
