We went out for breakfast before hitting the road.
The ride today was paved for the first 30km before turning off onto a dirt road which up-dulated for the next 10kms where we crossed, then rode along, the Continental Divide for a while.
We ended up stopping for lunch at the nights designated campsite so decided to push onto Separ at 82kms.
Separ as it turns out is nothing more than a truck/car stop on the side of a really busy Interstate highway.
The gentleman behind the counter had stepped out of the movie Deliverance to serve us!!! Every second tooth was missing and the remaining ones were a lovely shade of brown!!!! The shop was full of crap souvenirs and an awesome supply of fireworks. Fireworks which are illegal to set off in this county, but not in the county 5 miles away, weird place!
After enjoying a cold beverage and topping up our water we pushed on for another 5km or so to find a place place in the desert to sleep.
It had been a hot day and we were all quite tired so had an early night.
