Day 41 - 85.32 Miles
Fruitty Fruita
Fruita, UT
Leaving Hite requred a 52 mile ride without services, and by the time we got a Stan's World Famous Shaken we were running on empty (especially Austin). Luckily, we met some of the nicest vacationers ever. First we chatted with Dean Walker, an orthopedic surgeon who offered to buy us lunch because he was so impressed by what we were doing. Then, at our campground in Fruita a guy named Micheal Marek chatted us up and even gave us a few of his company's energy bars and mixed us a Gatorade type drink that has less sugar. Lastly, the next morning, a couple named Eric and Gabriella offered to cook us breakfast - a mix of eggs, sausage, cheese, and chilli all served over some nacho chips. Oh, and one really cool thing about the town of Fruita, a former orchard town - go figure, was that you could eat as many peaches as you wanted while in the orchard or take as many away for $1/pound.
