Today we started in Ele (Asia: Sean, it’s Ely) and biked 65 miles to Baker, Nevada. We are only 8 miles from the Utah border, so close!
The day of riding was mostly uneventful. The final hill was difficult, and Travis, Cole, and Maceo accidentally took a 3 mile “detour” at the end of the day.
Baker is next to great basin national park, an officially sanctioned dark sky location.
Maceo and Asia are Junior Rangers at Great Basin National Park.
The park had a night sky viewing event with 3 large telescopes pointed at various astronomical objects tonight. We looked at Mars (Asia: it Jupiter), but then decided the lines for the telescopes were too long and went back to Baker.
Cute Baker Sunset.
