In this post-Carrie era, we have now developed a new "camping" routine, which involves staying in hotels and not cooking our own food. We must say that it is rather luxurious, especially when the hotels involved have hot tubs. After 70 miles yesterday cycling with David (including 7 extra miles since our route had a TURN on it for the first time in 450 miles. Not being used to this "turning" phenomenon, we missed the one turn of the day) and some gambling last night at our hotel casino, we decided to take our rest day today here in Carson City.
Carson City is probably everything you'd ever expect from the Nevada state capital, which is not much. But it has Starbucks, a movie theater in which we drank in the entertaining "Burn After Reading", and a nice pub where we had a drink with Molly's friend Justin aka Woz who was passing through!
Justin's talk of owning a plane to get around made us think twice about our current mode of transportation. However, the mere 300 miles we have left are supremely undaunting! FOUR MORE DAYS OF CYCLING. Bring it.

Wow, you ladies are really moving! I guess you are ready to finish this chapter of your lives. I know I am. We won't be able to take the short cut, because tonight we arrived in Cedar City... tomorrow we'll be heading off to St. George for the day. I have an interview scheduled there, after that we'll be heading off to Las Vegas. Keep in touch and let me know how the road is, I have decided to go on to Los Angeles instead of San Fran, since it is closer to Vegas. Right now I am going to sleep, it was a long day coming over Cedar Breaks after a late start.
Take care and stay in touch, I will be needing my lift tickets.
