Mile 1300

After a huge breakfast at Jacobs Lake and a small snack at Marble Canyon, I ended today's tour at The Gap which is on the Navajo Reservation. The only store in "town" closed three minutes after my arrival so I was happy to pick up a couple bananas and chocolate milk. Upon checkout, I asked the nice lady if she knew any good places to camp and she said right behind the store was fine. I double checked with the man of the property and he agreed that I could post up for the evening.

After a long chat with the man and two of his daughters, I retired for the evening and began crunching some numbers. It turns out that I have pedaled exactly 1300 miles! To put this into perspective, the route from the Canadian border to the Mexican border via WA, OR, & CA is 1378 miles. That is a route I hope to do one day. I guess I should allow three weeks for it! 1300 miles from now should be close to Austin, TX. Hopefully in less than three weeks though because of less elevation changes.
