Got up early as we had a big trip of 83 miles today and grabbed some fried fuel in a Mexican restaurant for breakfast where we met a guy from Scotland. I think he was as suprised to see 2 English guys out there as we were to see him. He was a trucker and lived in Canada but travelled all over the states. Stopped in Dove Creek for lunch 10 miles before hitting the Utah boarder.

No thats not some sort of helicopter device sticking out of marks head, its a telegraph pole in the distance!!
This is the state we have been dreading - hot, dry and dead. Rode on to our destination of Blanding where we got a cheap motel and the town was as interesting as the name suggests.
Just before reaching Blanding we crossed the dam at Recapture reservoir, heres a photo of South Peak form across the reservoir (they really are not very imaginative with their place names out here)

Highlight of the day was catching the new series of South Park - classic stuff!
