Milford, UT to Baker, NV, about 82 miles. Crossed my last state border til California, although that was just before town. Today was a long, hot, and windy day with three small mountains. There are no services between Milford and Baker, so I carried extra water, and I definitely needed that. Went through four water bottles plus two sports drinks, and drank a lot more after getting to town. I also passed a town called Frisco, UT, a former mining town that's now abandoned. I saw a boarded up hole in the mountain that could have once been a mine entrance. In Baker I met three eastbound cyclists Del, Engin (sp), and Derek, going from San Francisco, CA to Newton, KS, about half of the country. They helped me with tips about the coming days through Nevada and California.
Also, I am of the suspicion that my speedometer loses track of a few miles each day. The sign and map says there are 84 miles between Milford and Baker. I will go with my speedometer in terms of calculating mileages, although I'm fairly certain it undercounts by about a mile for every 30 or so travelled.
