June 26 & 27 Day 22-23...Two more days...two totally different days. What began as a beautiful ride out of North Park quickly turned into a quite desolate and very hot day. Other than a brief peak into Dinosaur National Monument and a comfortable place to place my tent, the day became the most wearing on me. Because of this I've had to change from my 'no hurry' to moving out early for likely the remainder of the trip due to rising temperatures. Not really a problem as it just means that I stop earlier in the day in order to beat those temps.
Today, Thursday the 27th, the ride was back to providing very special scenery. From Utah's Highway 191 and 89 once again emphasized the joy and beauty off the Interstates. Again I wish that I could add pictures from this ride because I know that there are no words to describe the view. Eventually I would head unto Highway 50 which lead me to Ely, Nevada. Tomorrow I expect to see more of the beauty as I experienced today as I travel Nevada Highway 50, dubbed the 'Loneliest Highway in America'.
One unfortunate thing that I quickly noticed...the change of youth, both in appearance and attitude. From Wyoming east and back west through Utah, I had viewed a youth with much better appearance and attitude. What is the 'west' to do? Who knows! Just an observation.
