- Turns out Dru was crazy. Not scary-crazy, but definitely extremely irritating-crazy. She's a 54 year old woman, who through no small effort looks about 45. She never stopped talking. She tried to Bogart my trip and took me on a tour of Wallmart ("There is this most amazing store that you just have to see to believe"). Lake Powell was NOT the prettiest lake and I am glad to be out of Page. She was one of those Americans who thinks Canadians are from another planet. Happy to have ditched her.
- Yesterday biked 70 miles from Page to just outside Grand Canyon North Rim. Unbelievably hot again. Shared campsite with two Dutch couples one of who was a cheese engineer (only in Holland). They shared their campsite, their beer and their fire. Also, Joe - I've met the girl for you. She doesn't even camp with a tarp! (She's a rafting guide in the Grand Canyon, she will be at a rainbow gathering in Serbia in August, her name is Cleo and she is awesome).
- This morning only biked 25 miles to the Rim, but am utterly exhausted. No energy for anything. Good news is beyond all liklihood the North Rim campsite has a hiker/biker! Of course I am the only biker here. Will probably spend a few days recovering here from hellish week in the desert. It is gorgeous here, cool with trees and wind. A lot like Canada. I miss Canada.
- Will be in Cedar City in about a week, need to decide what to do next. Am definitely taking first public transport out of here to somewhere cooler. It is too hot to bike.
- Phone's still broken.
