Before we entered the great state of Utah today, we had quite an exciting event occurrance--we entered Dove Creek, CO, the pinto bean capital of the world! Fans of the beloved pinto bean flock from all around the globe to admire this pinto bean haven. Much to our delight (or chagrin), the pinto bean crop looks exactly like soybeans, and we haven't seen too many of those on our trip...
We crossed into Utah and the stateline pic will be posted whenever we find a computer in southern Utah, so basically, never. Apparently we are very popular in Utah, it being our home and all. We had a guy we had briefly met in Telluride slow down in his car and talk with us on the side of the road-we must be memorable! Then not 10 minutes later, we flagged down a guy in a pick-up truck because we didn't know what to do with the dog who had followed us for three miles and kept running out in front of cars. The guy promised to take the dog back home and in the meantime asked us, 'Hey, was it you two girls who were in the pub last night in Dolores?' Why yes, it was. Our fame precedes us!
We are in Blanding, UT tonight tenting in a very nice couple's backyard. We saw Mark biking along our same route and he offered to have us stay here. We thank Mark and Carla for giving us a safe place to stay, especially with their three enormous mastiffs guarding the house!
Don't be alarmed if the blog is not posted for the next couple of days as we are headed out into some remote canyons. And we had thought Indiana was the middle of nowhere.
