Day 48 - 63.17 Miles
Riders Excited for a Tent Night After the Silver Jack Inn
Ely, NV
About a week ago, we ran into an Austrian man who told us that Nevada has the most mountain ranges of any state. For the past two days we've been seeing exactly what he means, as we ride up one range, down into the valley, up the next range, and back down into another valley until we get to camp. Today's early morning ride was filled with wildlife - a wolf, a scorpion, a herd of elk (in the distance), and as many rabbits as they get their reputation for. Another day without services means there's not much else to report, although it was an easy day of riding because of a generous tailwind.
Song of the day: Rock You Like a Hurricane by the Scorpions (Wind of Change was already taken)
