Today I rode with Alex and Travis, both from Georgia Tech and both experienced riders. I enjoy pushing myself when I ride with them and really learn a lot.
The wind today was downright scary as we were going downhill. It was blowing us all over the lane and no braking was helping with being blown around. Luckily we all made it safely to Baker despite the wind.
Once in Baker we were shuttled to a truck stop on the state border to shower. Let's just say I'd be ok to never go back.
After our showers we went to Lehman cave. This place was awesome. So many cool underground formations and a lot of cool stories of uses of the cave. We also explored the national park and climbed (in our minivans) to over 9500 feet to a lookout area. There was still snow on the mountaintop which is astonishing considering the valley has reached over 100 degrees.
For dinner we were treated by many of the Baker residents to a fantastic home cooked dinner. They have hosted JOH for as long as the teams have come through here.
They also talked to us about their court cases against Las Vegas for trying to take their water to sustain their own expansions. It was awesome to see how passionate this town is and how they rally together to stand up for themselves and their livelihoods.
Tomorrow we ride 100 miles into Delta, Utah.
It has been a good time in Nevada and the desert but I am ready to move forward into another state.
Thanks for praying for our team!
Love & Honor,
Beau
