I load back up and get on the road and see two bicyclists going down the side of the road – in the middle of the desert! As I’m contemplating this (about 85 degrees at the moment), I see another sign that says “Continental Divide” – I’m not passing up this opportunity twice – remember I’m really not on that much of a schedule. I turned around and came back to the sign at the same time the bicyclists made the sign. Hanley and Marty are both in their sixties and are biking across the country! They started in New York – wow! They’re going to the west coast too – although I’m certain I’ll beat them by a mile. We laughed for a few minutes, shot a few pictures, and then bid each other safe travels.

Man.
