Price to Green RIver

We were up at 5:30 AM to have time to eat breakfast and do final packing and luggage loading at 6:30 AM. Today’s route takes us to Green River Utah a distance of 67 miles.

The temperature was upper 50’s with blue skies and a wandering mild wind . It was quite hot by ride completion, maybe 90.

We continued in a Southeasterly direction again today. The scenery today was beautiful with mesas and plateaus and painted mountains in the distance. The vegetation is low growing plants and some grasses with scrub brush accents.

At the SAG stop there was a interesting earth hill or mountain not too far away. While we were fueling up with snacks an Antelope sauntered by in the distance. The grade of the ride over the 67 miles was descending elevation. You could see for miles. We rode by the Book cliffs toward the East. Book cliffs are rock formations that appear like books stacked on a shelf. The sun position did not present a good photo op for the cliffs. I got a couple of shots at the SAG stop. Check out my dew rag with the flames. One of my room mates bought it and it didn't fit so he gave it to me.

We stopped at an Arby’s and got lunch at 11:00 AM then proceeded the last couple of miles to the hotel. We arrived at the hotel in Green River at 11:30 AM.

We maintained a fairly fast pace today and I felt it when we arrived. I drank a lot on the way but may not have taken in enough water. After showering, enjoying a handful of cookies from Kristy and drinking a large bottle of ice water I felt better.

With today’s ride we have surpassed the 1000 mile mark. That’s something! Tomorrow we head straight east for Grand Junction Colorado and into our fourth state.
