Today was a long day conquering 48 miles. We stopped once after a stretch of 24 miles at Rexburg and another 24 mile stretch to the middle of nowhere.

We knew we had 10 miles to go and during the last two miles we saw our destination which guided us with a light pole. That last 2 miles seemed like an eternity to get through. Once we got there around 11:30 mountain time, the place was deserted except for a few people sitting in cars staring at us as we came into Sage Junction. Sage Junction is a weigh station with a couple of pop machines and a payphone.

There was a 50 square foot piece of lawn in the middle of the desert that we planned to put our tent on. We really didn't have a choice to go anywhere else since the last house we saw was 15 miles away. We saw nothing but sagebrush and an occasional bunny running across the road.

It was hot today, but not unbearable. We listened to our MP3 players most of the day. The land was pretty flat so it made it a little easier for traveling.

By the way, thank you very much to Larry and Barb from Wallace for the ice cream. As soon as we find an ice cream place we will gladly treat ourselves to something sweet and refreshing.
