Trail Notes

Day 17 - Thanks Doc!

8/27/2016

 
We were going to take today off so I could find a dentist in Ely but I lucked out and found one last evening! Not only did he squeeze me in at the last minute but he was able to do a filling! So now that the tooth situation is all cleared up we'll continue on as scheduled!

We're setting out this morning from Ward Charcoal Ovens State Park, one of my favorite state parks because of its 1870s beehive shaped charcoal kilns. Today we'll head for our next state park, Cave Lake. But to get there we'll have to navigate a particularly treacherous seven miles of road. I did not enjoy that stretch on my last ride across Nevada so I'm not looking forward to doing it again but there's no other way so onward we go!

What makes that stretch of road so bad? How did you manage it the last time?

It's difficult because it's seven miles of paved road, with no shoulder, and blind turn after blind turn. So the traffic goes fast and can't see us until the last minute. Last time Ryan drove behind us with his flashers on the whole way to slow traffic. We might have to do that again.
