Day 14: Adios Nevada

75.3 miles. Averaged 11.6 mph. We left Ely, NV early and made it to Baker, NV by 3pm. We said goodbye to Highway 50 as we traveled down an even lonelier road which made Hwy 50 look like I-75. Great Basin National Park was only 5 miles down the road, but 10 miles too far for us. After some food we decided to keep on pushing forward because our waitress mentioned a camping area 12 miles away. The best part was it didn't cost a thing. We figured this would also save us some miles the next day. You wouldn't believe how much camping can be. There are hotels out here cheaper than some campsites. We'll just have to make our own campsites. So as we rode past Baker we crossed the border into Utah. It didn't surprise us to find a very similar landscape so far.

I think this pass got the best of Tim
