Day 48: Spanish Fork, UT to Salt Lake City, UT Total Distance: 62.8 mi Moving Avg: 9.4 mph Moving Time: 6:40 FTSO Headwinds!!! No, really. Today had some vicious winds. Oof! Still, I did OK. I think tomorrow will be a short day (I keep saying that, hopefully I mean it this time). I'll get myself into as good a position to cross the desert as possible, then... I didn't need to backtrack as predicted this morning, a local told me how to cut over to US-89. I'm at the house of the Gurney's, old friends of my parents. Unfortunately, they have absolutely no embarrassing stories about them. I'm very disappointed. They have, however, been fine hosts, so I forgive them. One note about about headwinds, I decided to take down my safety flags, for aerodynamics. It actually helped a lot (or, at least, seemed too). I may leave them down for a while. I'm still pretty visible without them and every little bit helps.
