This canyon is absolutely nuts. So far traffic has been mercifully non-existent.

Short break. Beautiful road in a forest with unexpected huge cliffs where cliffs are not expected. Surprisingly little traffic in comparison to yesterday.

Jared called on the topic of the Thailand trip. It's a strange feeling to be on a trip like this planning a trip like that. What a strange timeline I find myself in.

last night was filled with interesting conversations. I met Em, Roberts friend, who he had suggested I meet. She is one of the most hard core solo distance riders I have ever met.
