CFR - Day 2
After packing up the bike, I headed out early, stopping for gas in St. George, UT, then settled in for the long slab ride. I stopped early for a hamburger at a McDonald's about 100 miles north of St. George, then again for gas and phone calls in Nephi.
I'd had a couple of brief showers throughout the day, but after passing through SLC, I hit some heavy, cold rain, and got off at UT-30. I geared up for the weather under the freeway, and checked the forecast on the Zumo - which did not look good. Camping is nice, but it loses a lot of its luster in the rain.
I called Carole and asked her to reserve me a room at the Motel 6 in Pocatello, which turned out to be below the line as Motel 6's go. It rained heavily overnight, with high winds, throughout southeastern Idaho.
487 miles from the Virgin River BLM campground in Arizona to the Motel 6 in Pocatello, ID.
