Wham, last evening I fell asleep at 8.30 pm! In the middle of the night I heard some banging on the door next to our room, but I did not peek out the window to look what was happening. Sofie slept through all of that noise!
The oatmeal breakfast cookie is one of the best breakfast to have with you on the trip: lightweight, but filling, which was what one needs when going to climb.
Yes, today a pack free climb was scheduled: seeing Electric lake along the scenic byway in Huntington Canyon. To reach this lake we had to climb 10% and 12%. On the left side of the canyon was a stone wall, on the right you could hear a creek running down, but you could not see it since bushes were covering it. The climbing was steep, but traffic was light! The scenery gradually changed from rocks to birch trees to open spaces with purple and yellow wildflowers. So far this was the best climb of the trip. We finally reached the top at 2810 m: a wild dance was in order to celebrate this achievement. Here we had an awesome view of the Sanpete valley where our motel was. A perfect place to lunch. Both of us agreed not to ride on to Electric Lake (this meant going down for 7 miles...and going back up those 7 miles). We were happy as it was! Came the great downhill into the valley: from breezy air to hairdryer hot wind! Sofie learned this the hard way and sweated the last fast miles on the road. That might been the reason why she took a nap in the middle of the afternoon, while I watched some TV. Dinner was across the street: on mondays there are not too many people eating out!
