Our last day’s ride took us from Fillmore, Utah to Baker
Nevada. The terrain did not change much along the 170 mile route. The terrain was
mostly flat and consisted of sage brush and grass. The roads were graded gravel
and fast due to the long straight stretches with good visibility. We took the
hard loop, which was not hard at all, but was a fun mostly smooth jeep trail.
Our route took us past a dry lake bed so we took a detour to
check it out. We did not set any land speed records, but had fun trying. Todd
took the checkered flag on a series of rolling start drag races.
Overall our adventure this past week has been great. We
enjoyed this segment of the Trans America Trail better than last year’s segment.
We especially enjoyed the hard-splits that we did each day.
Many thanks to Paul Miller for taking time to join our
adventure, for his excellent cooking, and for making sure we were comfortable
and well provisioned. Thanks to Bill Wygal for providing the equipment (truck
and trailer) to transport us out and back and keep us comfortable along the
way. Thanks to Lance, Todd, and Bill for their adventurous spirits and advanced
riding skills. Finally, thanks to GPS Kevin for the GPS tracks and logistical
resources.
