Zero Day

After riding 660 miles over the first ten days of the Ride Against Hunger, we took a day off today in Baker, NV. The population of Baker must be less than 200, but it is located less than 20 miles from the Great Basin National Park. We had a wonderful day of rest. We worshiped together at 8 a.m., then cleaned the motor home from top to bottom (it needed it), and then went up the mountain to the national park.

There we read books, slept (see picture), bird-watched, had our lunch, painted a couple pictures (Kathy), slept some more. The temperature in Baker was around 95, but where we were more like 80. Days just don't get any better than this.

When we got back to the RV Park we found a local pub offering ribs, chicken and other goodies to the "outsiders". We could not resist going up and mixing with the people of Baker. What a great way to end the day. As soon as this blog is finished, we will go to bed to get ready for the trek over to Delta, UT. We will enter our third state, cross over into Mountain Time, and ride 98 miles by the end of the day. And it is suppose to be hot. Yikes!!!
