Day 73…. I have a choice this morning to try to make it to Heber, UT, which was over a 100 miles or split the ride up into two days and stop in Duchesne, Utah, which was only 28 miles. With the heat and hills I figured to be a little safer and split the ride up. It’s getting hard to carry so much water for this dry heat. I haven’t been taking to many pictures since I entered Utah. It’s mostly a repeat of dry hills and sage brush. Not very interesting to me.

As I entered Duchesne there is a grocery store and as station. Figuring it would be nice to not go out for food today I grabbed dinner and breakfast here. No for the place I was staying. I rented what I thought was a single bed hotel room. Well when I arrived come it was a well-kept town home. 3 full beds, 3 full bathrooms, full kitchen, laundry, large living room, dining, etc. The house was stocked to live in. Winterton Suites blew my mind. The place is large and immaculate. With a price of $85 (1 bedroom) for the evening I wish I could find these more often. If you even travel to a place that they have suites do not hesitate to rent one.

Spending most of my night eating and drinking tons of fluids it was time to crash and get ready for the long, hill climbing day coming up.
