Got a later start than we had planned out of Hanksville, but had a good ride to Hite, on Lake Powell. It was 90 degrees when we stopped there for lunch, and we were in need of shade. We met a German cyclist there who was headed the other direction. He told us about a campsite that was 40 miles away, which sounded better than our 75 mile plan. When we were about to leave, a park ranger caught a rattlesnake from behind the Pepsi machine by the front door of the store. That's been the only live snake we've seen so far. We left Hite and made a slow climb up 3000ft to Natural Bridges National Monument and arrived at the campsite around 7:30. It was full, but a couple from Holland in an RV let us use their tent spot. Exhausted after a long day in the desert.
