I woke up today on the futon around 8 AM surprisingly I wasn’t hungover from the Blue Moons we pounded down the night before. I thanked Phillip for his hospitality. He left for class and I stuck around updating my blog, eating waffles with syrup for breakfast and packing my gear for today’s adventure.
I finally got back on the TransAmerica Trail today after being off of it for over a week since I journeyed off to see Trevor. The scenery truly turns your head and the pictures I post do not do it justice. I wish I bought an expensive camera before I left to get better shots, however, I think my phone does quite well for what it’s worth.
I took a rest day and only trekked about 45 miles since I left around noon and grabbed some accessories for my bike at Phoenix Cycles. I bought some tape for the inside of my rims so hopefully my front tubes will stop popping, a patch kit and two more thorn resistant tubes.
Surprisingly I did not meet anyone today on the road, which I found rather odd since it’s Friday. Nonetheless, the scenery made up for it ten fold. I’m at a campground right now charging my electronics and scoping the area for a spot to stealth camp.
