I left Richfield (made a mistake in my last post saying I stopped in emery, I forgot I had pushed through about half way to Kanosh, UT) and headed for Nevada! The first section was pretty brutal. A lot of steep hill climbs with large, loose gravel. I saw a few black tail deer and a bunch of rabbits. 
The second part of the day was awesome. It was clear and there was a good amount of wind which cooled things down. Everything was super dusty and dry but that also let me run faster on those flat gravel valley roads.
I made it into Nevada around 3pm and barely dodged a huge rainstorm coming out of the southwest.
It was too late for me to push through to the next town and the only hotel was a gas station casino, so I decided to pitch camp in the Great Basin National Forrest. This ended up being a huge score. Made camp at 7500 feet next to a creek on a hill looking into the valley. It was awesome!
The next day I got up and started packing when I realized my two liters of oil was missing. I don’t know how it could’ve happened, but it somehow fell off riding through the valley. This oil isn’t common or easy to find. The ONLY bike shop in the area was in Winnemucca, NV so I gave them a call and they said they would have my oil by Monday. I decided to go ahead and get a new rear tire while it was going to the shop. This meant I had to camp one more day before heading to Eureka on Sunday. So I decided to go fish the stream nearby and caught a couple of brook trout until I slipped and busted ass in the creek. 
I went back to camp and decided to ride into town to pick up some beer and a steak. It was another awesome night and I head to Eureka tomorrow!
