The Finish Line

To all the supporters and non-supporters... I'm fanito bandito!

Utah-ha ha ha

When we entered Utah, we were greeted by a hail storm. Then we almost died during a 130 mile stretch with no amenities, boiling hot water in our water bottles, and I got a flat tire, TWICE! (First time this whole trip) Then we had 3 days of 30+ mph headwinds. We had to peddle going downhill. 

The view is amazing though, and every second has been worth it!

Mt. Rocky

I'm pretty sure I messed up the count. So I'm done with that. July 1st will be 1 year of living in a van, rent free. It's been 57 days since I left New Jersey on a bicycle.  

Colorado has the most beautiful scenery. Well, if you don't include eastern Colorado.  That place is worst than Kansas. We hit 11,000+ feet of elevation soon. Monarch Pass.. That might be the highest point I reach while taking the Western Express to San Francisco.  Altitude Sickness is no joke. You know things aren't going well when you have to remind yourself to breath. 

If you think riding a bicycle across the country is crazy then you haven't talked to any hikers. I met these two dudes, Baker and Cheetah, they are hiking up towards Canada. I think they started separately around Mexico.  

I had a job interview, over the phone, the other day. I might be back in Ozark country again. I'll keep you posted.
