Day Fifty-Six - Preparation.

Today was a part rest day, having only furthered myself 20 miles.

Last night was uncomfortable at best, and my optimism of last night was... optimistic. It didn't matter too much though, because I wasn't going far. I packed up, went to the restaurant next door for an omlette, and was on the road by 8:30. To be honest, the riding was mostly uneventful, but I could definitely tell I was moving into desert, with the ground gradually turning into red dust.

I arrived in Blanding at about 10:30, and realised that I didn't really have anywhere to go. At 11 I went down to the Super8, where they luckily had a room available for me. After getting in, I chatted to home for a bit, went out to eat and bu stuff for tomorrow / the next day, and currently my laundry is tumble drying.

Tomorrow I am heading out into the desert overnight, and am camping at a place called Hite Recreation Park. There is a campsite and grocery there, so It's not as if there will be NOTHING. The following day I'll be heading to a place called Hanksville. I've found with Utah that in a similar way to Kansas, you are fairly dictated to how far you go each day by how the towns are laid out, so some days will be longer than others.
