Today we rode from Park City to Duchesne, Utah. The first 50 miles were all wooded and mountainous with large climb taking us up over 8000 feet. The second half was more like a desert, similar to what we encountered in Nevada. The cool part was in the middle were the two parts transitioned - there the south-facing side of the mountains was desert while the north side was forested. We decided the must be due to the shade on the north side.
Once in Duchesne the chamber of commerce arranged for several members to take us boating and tubing on Starvation Lake, a man-made lake made by damming the Strawberry and Duchesne Rivers. It was really cool to see a lake in the middle of a rocky desert. Later in the evening the Lions Club made dinner for us, which was great because they made barbecue pork with scalloped potatoes.
Tomorrow we ride about 95-100 miles to Dinosaur, Colorado.
