After 10 days of biking, today was our first, and much appreciated, layover day. We're in Baker, NV, just a few miles from Utah. After some worship, a cleaning of the motor home, and tuning up the bikes, we went up the hill to Great Basin National Park, where we just hung out in a beautiful picnic area for a few hours. Our very vigorous activities included reading, napping, crossword puzzles, painting, more napping, and strolling by the swollen streams. A perfect rest day! Then we came back to metropolitan Baker for a very informal barbecue at the bar that doubles as the campground office. Kelly, who runs the place, is a wonderful, down-to-earth guy. Now we're setting our watches an hour ahead, since we enter mountain time in the a.m., and we want to get an early start on a 97 mile day through the desert in the heat tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes!
