Winter 1998 - San Diego to Cincinnati
Journals - 15 February 1998
Day 18
15 February 1998 (Kaibab national forest; mileage = 0) -- X - All night I
heard high winds. I hadn't been expecting that, and I was worried the
bikes were going to blow over. In the morning, it was VERY sunny and the
winds were still howling. We lounged in bed and I read. We had oatmeal for
breakfast and then we got suited up in Gore-Tex for a bit of exploring. The
area was beautiful, covered in fresh, deep snow. We slogged through drifts
up to knee-deep to the road. A truck had been on this tiny road. We
followed the tracks for over a mile. I also walked up to a big mound that
was labeled with a sign that read "28-12." We never did find out where the
truck went (we gave up). Back at the tent, we cooked the world's easiest
recipe -- water from snow. We also had coffee and sandwiches. We're sitting
here now writing post cards, etc.
