The first few days update

Let's see its been almost a week and we haven't blogged once. So sorry guess living on the shoulder of the road can get a little crazy. Let me go over our first week for ya'll.
Saturday: we headed off from heber Ut. Yes I know you might ask why we didn't take off from our home in sandy, and that is a good question that I don't feel like answering! Ha ha call it lazy, we just didn't want to deal with either having to ride on the interstate up parleys canyon, or go through utah poop county! Our first climb went quite well and we had high spirits when we reached daniels summit. Going towards strawberry res. we were a little disheartened by a nasty cold head wind. Oh and on that same road we had a whole lane to ourselves due to construction. When we saw the highway patrol lights flashing we thought we were in trouble for riding on the newly paved lane. No it wasn't that at all, they were nice enough to bring us the bag we had dropped a couple miles back. Thank heavens because that bag had our stove and other valubles. We trucked on and made it just outside of Duechesne at daynes parents property. Oh and a word for the wise, don't stop at the fruitland store and try to get tap water when you are totally out 15 minutes after they are closed. They won't open the door for you and will ignore you even when you plead. But back to being at the property, we were totally famished when we got there due to lack of caloric intake, something we soon learned is VERY important to keep up on. Luckily a pizza place out of duchesne delivered the pizza to us. As it was dark he turned on his flashing cop lights for us. Yep you heard right, a first response pizza delivery car. Mileage total: 60

Sunday: we woke bright and early eating pizza for breakfast. We passed a fellow biker with enough stuff for three people. The wind was at our backs and we covered a lot of ground. We met three nice people at a gas station in roosevelt. Bonnie the attendant, who when dayne asked how many people live in roosevelt she replied, "too many!" Another was I funny trucker man who stepped on our solar pannel that was clearly visible on the sidewalk, hope he drives more strait then he walks! The other was a younger guy named brandon, who had some interesting things to say about relatives living in roosevelt who's restaurant is the best food in town. We made it to green river being eaten alive by mosquitoes whenever we stopped erratically running in circles. Luckilky we got the tent up with only a few hundred bites and got some shut eye. Total miles: 80

Monday: we took off early that morning being chased out of town by the relentless mosquitoes. No matter how fast we went they seemed to get stuck in our draft behind us and kept biting or backs and arms. We made it to the colorado border mid day with a narly head wind. In dinosaur co we stopped and had some home made ice cream hiding in the shade from the blistering sun. As we filled up on water we met a nice gas station attendant that kept sweeping leaves that would just blow right back. Luckily changing direction we had the wind at our backs and made it to maybell Co. While looking for a place to camp we met some great people at the campground. They fed us a delicious meal of mashed potatoes , corn, and steak that the rancher raised himself. There we showered off all the dirt and salt, which soothed our sunburnt crispy skin. After driving a block or two down a residential street that was dirt mind you, we were in blm land and got some good rest. Total miles: 80
