Today wasn't as bad as expected because the last 20 miles were a nice downhill to Ely (pronounced ee-lee, I think). I am so glad to have tomorrow off, my legs are pretty burnt out from the last few days. We ride again on June 3rd on a 120 mile push for the Utah border. It will be nice to change time zones because it will feel like we're making progress.
Nevada is beautiful in its own sort of way, although the scenery seems to repeat itself every 30 miles or so. The small towns are easy to picture as they were in the 1800's. Small abandoned copper mines dotted the hillsides in the last few miles into Ely... very cool for an old history major!
