Keeping This Short

I'm pretty tired from a decently long day out on the road. Not only that, I want to get to bed as early as possible so I can wake up early and get on the road. Today we left the campground and after being sent on the runaround, Nate had his first freeway day... twice. We continued eastward into the wind and it almost kicked our butts, yet we still made some pretty good time. The desert is unrelenting and dangerous. Without water, things seem impossible. When elevation is added, nope. The next two days look very risky. There is some pretty decent grade coming up and a stretch of virtually nothing, but that doesn't mean quit. The next two days look like freeway days. 50 miles on the freeway. Then 55 more miles the next day. Things may get a little slippery here but it's the only way through. I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about going home every day. But the simple solution is to keep going. After all, Dory kept swimming right?
