Hey Emmett.  Sorry to hear your trip ended earlier than expected.  I hope you're feeling better now after some R&R. Be thankful you're not riding out in the NV desert during this 110+ heatwave.  What an accomplishment, nevertheless, riding through the deserts of Utah into Nevada!  You're a better man than me…Yesterday I just rode only 10 miles for the first time this year on my mountain bike to get the car from the repair shop and I was winded by just a few hills.  Let me know when you get back so we can catch up and hear your stories of the road. I'm sure you can outdo Charles Kuralt! Safe travels! Tom
