Scattered travel notes, writing from beautiful Middleofknowwhere Nebraska (and I mean beautiful- this state is amazing):

1. Utah is gorgeous. That stretch of I-70 ending at Green River is desolate and jaw dropping.

2. I have a brand spanking new crack through my windshield. Bummer.

3. Back entrances to hotels are invaluable for getting your bikes into your room discretely.

4. Dairy Queen is a life saver.

5. Jean-Luc (my car) performed valiantly carrying a heavy load and two bikes externally mounted over the Rockies...but I've never driven so slowly in my life.

Time for bed.
