Day 11: Milford,Ut to Cedar City,Ut.

Milford, Utah at 5,000 feet does offer some interesting views of the stars.  The night sky was clear and black which offered a great view.  I am thankful for that.
The wind and temperature cooperated for the day heading south.  58 miles total with one big pass in the middle.  It seemed like it would be easy but it turned out to be extremely tiring.  The difficulty was not the same as other days but there is something about the sun glaring down on you all day that just drains your energy.  I spent the remainder of the day trying to rest and get something stored for the climb tomorrow. 
We are heading for 10,000 feet on a 19 mile ride.  This is going to be the starting point for the ride next year.  We'll see how that goes.
One thing I noticed today after staring at the ditch for 700 plus miles is the huge number of cooler lids there are littering the highways.  These must be from igloo coolers tied on the outside of peoples cars and the speed and wind just lifts them right off.  All I could think is what a waste of ice.  Fitting because ice was very precious to me on this trip.  Thank god Sue was always there to replenish the water bottles.  Could not have done this without you.
