coconut water!

coconut water! coconut water! coconut water! 

that's really all I remember from our day through Tonopa and into Nevada, HUGE HUGE thanks, mrs. Fila and Lexi :)

we'd spent the night a few miles outside the town, then loaded up at the local mart late morning for the next 3-4 nights in Nevada. pretty sure my bike was at its heaviest as we cruised out onto highway 6 that afternoon. besides my typical bike/camp gear, I had

23lbs water

5lbs peanut butter

2lbs rice

1lbs beans

2lbs oatmeal

1lbs brown sugar

5lbs carrots

1lbs honey

1lbs ketchup

1lbs barbecue sauce

and half a loaf of bread.

we hit headwinds a lot of the way, but most of the road was flat, easy riding. the afternoon was unlike anything I ever thought Nevada would be like. cool, cloudy weather with rolling 'spot storms' that often passed right in front or behind us, and were there and gone in 45min. 

turned onto highway 395 just as the sun was setting, and camped a few miles down the way behind a dirt pile just off the road (which doesn't show on the google map, but alas, there's very little in Nevada to lock onto by way of a nearby town that shows where we started/stopped) 

God is good, and we are so thankful to be able to experience so much of His creation on this trip. love and prayers for all of you reading, and thank you. 

may the sun shine warm upon your face,

josh & mark
