RE: June 7. Brandon and I were on the road by 7:40 a.m. Tuesday. With this early start we were able to get in a total of 42 miles of running/walking. Finding a place to camp was difficult as people were basically brushing us off and suggesting that we try a different location. Eventually we decided to stop walking and pitched our tent in an overgrown parking lot.

The weather was quite warm again today. In fact our stroller thermometer--now known as the strollometer--read 115 degrees at one point. This reading was when we were running and the "strollometer" was, of course, close to the pavement which added additional warmth. We figure the air temperature was probably around 90 degrees for some of our run today.

After a long day of running, we are tired. We plan to get an early start again tomorrow. We are low on food so we plan to run 10 miles to a McDonald's for breakfast and also to replenish our food supply.
