Going The Distance

• Set alarm for 5.45am to set up timelapse shot of the sun rising over the bike and the awesome goosenecks. Getting quite pro at this whole filming malarkey now.
• Sleep.
• Heat.
• More awesome shots of the Valley of the Gods. Spectacular. Utah very photogenic. Unlike dusty, unshowered selves.
• Lunch in Mexican Hat. There is ACTUALLY a place called Mexican Hat. (Because of a rock formation). Asked to leave after a while. Ha ha. We do tend to set up camp everytime we stop. Got the contact of a Native American couple who we will see tomorrow in Hotevilla on the Hopi Reservation. Delighted.
• Into Arizona, through Monument Valley, to Tuba City. Camping in carpark of only hotel. All class.
• Meet other Brits, all craving alcohol in this dry town. Clears, natch, have huge box of beers. Brits gravitate to our carpark wilderness like flies to poo. All beers consumed. Much talk of John Lewis, Marmite and other long-forgotten totems of Britannia.
