Trip to George Day 2

Wednesday, May 25 - Manti to Joseph

65.8 miles - 944 ft climbing

A big thank you to Terry and Mardeen Stevens for treating us to their warm hospitality and delicious enchiladas for dinner and a wonderful breakfast!

Got an action shot by the temple then we hit the road.

We had a tough section of road from Manti to Gunnison.  We were riding in the lane when no cars were coming then riding between the rumble strip and edge of the pavement when cars past.  On one of our maneuvers, there was a snake sun bathing on the shoulder and Spencer didn't see it since he was following. He thought it going to strike at him. He swears it was a rattle snake, I'm not so sure, but it makes for a great story!

We had a great stop in Axtel.

We then got onto back roads that were wonderful.  The wind really started picking up mid day.

Then we stopped in Salina for our first Diet Coke of the day at Mollies pantry.

We had great roads into Richfield where we had a big meal at Sagebrush Grill.

Then we picked up a bike trail in Central Valley and hurried into Joseph ahead of the storm.  We actually were able to follow this bike path for a while the next day.

We made it Joseph!
