Day 26: Blanding, UT to Dove Creek, CO

Today's Mileage: 47
Total Mileage: 1496

We woke up early to meet Debbie and Karin at the complimentary continental breakfast of a hotel where none us had stayed.

I had a flat back tire, and once I fixed it, we were on our way.

We were lucky to have morning cloud cover as we climbed some mellow hills to Monticello. The ride was easy, and I enjoyed having some female company on the road for a change.

After a short stop in Monticello, Wesley and I continued over rolling hills the rest of the way. There was some light rain, but nothing my pannier covers and raincoat couldn't handle.

We crossed over into Colorado, and I stopped at the bar located right at the state line for a beer, and to wait out the rain, since I only had a few more miles to go.

Wesley was waiting at a cafe in Dove Creek. Our camping options were limited, but after some asking around we ended up at a grassy neighborhood park.
