Sea-to-Sea NA Day 23 Dry! Dry, dry despite drinking enough on the road when we pulled into town and stopped at an ice cream place, you just want to eat or drink everything. After a milk shake and a ½ lemonade we went to the grocery store and bought a chocolate milk, drank that too. Then an hour after arriving, we had to bike up the hill to the high school in Craig, my belly was so full we hardly made it. Then a bike bottle with iced tea and still feeling thirsty but I had better stop and let it absorb into my body. The ride today was hot as usual; cloud cover at first but sun in the mid day, a rear wind onto my right shoulder for part of the ride was helpful. The countryside was up and down with 4300 ft of climbing but only 426 ft of elevation change from where we started. Some hills were steep others less of a grade, the one leading up to the town was almost 30km long but a gentle slope. Total ride 140 km at 25.3 kph. We are getting tired of these desert conditions and looking forward to a change of scenery soon but we have to go over a few major climbs before then. Tonight we have a view over a big valley with a coal fired generating plant on the other side. The coal source is on the large hill behind the plant. We can see the tower for the dragline moving around just over the hill. The train runs through the valley, something we haven’t seen or heard for about a week now.
