Winter 1998 - San Diego to Cincinnati
Journals - 11 February 1998
Day 14
11 February 1998 (4 miles north of Valle; mileage = 53.5) -- X - We had a
reasonable take down, but since it's a new set-up, we didn't leave until
9:00. As promised, right away we started climbing. Up, up, up. We had to
stop every once in a while to ditch clothing. The Kaibab national forest
was very nice. We finally got to Williams. April did a great job in the
Safeway filling up our food bag. We stopped in McD's for lunch, which was
very welcome. Back out on the road, we found Route 64 and started heading
north. The riding was up and down for quite a while, but no major climbs.
We saw a herd of antelope out on the range and stopped to binocular them.
We came to a place called Valle. Their campground was done very extensively
in the Flintstones motif (Wilma's laundry, for example). They wanted $13
and showers! No thanks -- that's a Jetsons' price. So we pressed on into
the wind, which was now quite irritating. We found a site at a cut in a
small hill where we were out of sight. The soil here is red and sinks 2
inches when you step on it. When we unhooked the BOB, my bike somehow fell
over and my mirror broke (*Picture-sad face). Our site is very nice,
though, with a great view of the ranging cows. We had grilled cheese in
the tent.
