We woke up today to the sounds of sprinklers. Yes - that means our morning started with wet underwear and tents. To be frank, my sleeping bag was out of the splash zone, so I was able to get an extra 30 minutes of sleep while the others dealt with the Bert T. Gandolfo Park sprinkler system.
Soon afterwards, I began driving behind the crew towards Eureka. We passed through the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest for a bit. That is definitely one of the most beautiful spots we’ve seen in Nevada.
After some time on the road, Daniel had a flat tire that needed repair. I drove over to give the relevant supplies to Daniel and Adam, where they worked their magic.
While Daniel’s tire was being fixed, Nancy and Puja zoomed off into the distance. I had to drive nearly 30 minutes for their resupply. By that time, they had almost reached Eureka.
We met up in Eureka with our contact Galen, who generously offered us housing at the newly built Eureka Community Church. This was an amazing spot. My favorite part of the church was the interior wood finish from recycled 1880’s lumber!
We ended the night with me making burnt, but greasily delicious Quesadillas (disgraceful, I know mom). Here is also a picture of our beautiful Eureka sunset.
