Well, yesterday was very interesting. I spent most of the day hiding from the heat at the public library in Grand View. Very nice people there. I had a great time.
Then about 5pm I started the 25 mile journey across the desert to Mountain Home. Ouch! Was it hot! The thermometer on my bike read 107.3!!!! It didn’t take long to get to Mountain Home although it seemed to be almost all up hill. A climb of about 1000 Ft.
Today, I am heading towards Fairfield. I was told that it is at about 5000 Ft. If so, that will be a climb of about 2000 Ft. and take me to my highest altitude of this trip. I hope it is cooler up there. I also pass through a town called Hill City (a little scary).
We will see…
