Day 13: Pre-Green River to Moab

Woke up early and packed up the tent to set out for Green River for breakfast.  Went about 12 miles till we got to I-70 and took that another 12 miles to GR.  Found a cafe to eat at.  Cafes are our new thing.  The food is great and cheap and you can get limitless amounts of free coffee....which we take full advantage of.  We all ordered pancakes and Steve definitely got the biggest ones, but Lyle managed to get 3?  Anyways we all split a second order of pancakes before we left for Cresent Junction on to Moab.  Right as we pulled of the interstate rain began to fall from the sky.  Luckily there was a gas station in Cresent Junction which is Cresent Junction that we could hang out at for the next 2 hours for the rain and hail to pass.  We all ended up buying some food.  Its hard not two when your tempted for that long.  We finally saw a clearing and so we went for it.  About half way to Moab Lyle got a flat, but could not call out to Jody and Steve in time before they went about a mile and looked back to find Lyle nowhere in sight.  We all finally met up after Lyle walked for 20 min and Jody and Steve backtracked for about a half mile.  Once we started to fix the tire of course it starts to rain, and then stops once its fixed.  We then flew into Moab with a strong wind blowing us from behind.  First thing we did was go to the bike shop.  TJ helped us find everything we needed: tire, trailer tubes, and patches.  TJ introduced us to Randy who alsoworked at the bike shop and he explained how to get to his campsite where he lives.  We ate at Wendy's before heading over.  We then found Randy's hill where he lives with another guy named Aaron who lives in a hogan half underground.  We talked a little bit before we went to bed in a nearby cave in the side of the cliff.  The cave was really big and sheltered us from the rain that came during the night.  We didn't have to set up our tent for a change.  Long crazy day.

79 miles, rain/hail, Sleeping in Cave!
