28 May 2008
This will probably be one of the best days of the whole trip. Since the campground we stayed at was so far off the trail, we decided to try a shortcut on a road called the Mormon Emmigrant Drive. Not only did it cut some miles off, it avoided a big downhill section (which would have meant more uphill for the day). The Mormon Emigrant Trail was 25 miles of straight up, but was an amazingly pretty ride. The mossy trees and snow were beautiful. The weather was pretty stormy, but we seemed to follow a lull in the storm the entire way, and didn't get very wet at all. All in all a super day.
We rode 32 miles, and climbed from 3500 to 8000 feet, and then back down a bit to 7300.

Wow. Nice PhotoShop job on the fortune cookie! I can't believe you have energy for that kind of geekery after riding so long. ;)
Glad to hear you're safe and doing well. Now that you have some real pictures up, I can send a link around to all of Dad's buddies at work. They'll love it. They've asked about you guys EVERY DAY for the last two weeks. "Did they leave yet?" "Any news from the road?"
Dee just did a 50-miler Saturday (5/31) with three scouts along the Duchesne River.
Good luck. We're going to come see you near Monticello, I think.
Dude, there was no photoshop involved. The family visited China Town in San Francisco, and bought a bag of fortune cookies. That was one of the fortunes. Dallin opened it.
I am glad Dallin is going to make in two months... good luck the rest of you! :)
