Day 11: To Baker, NV 60 miles

Our ride today was much more scenic which made for a more enjoyable ride. By far my favorite part of the ride was seeing this antler arch across someone's driveway. It is made primarily of elk antlers and is quite a site to see!
Based on the terrain we were going through and talking to the locals, I'm sure all the antlers were found right there in the hills. We stayed in a small gym in Baker, population 60. After getting settled in to lodging we went to the Lehman Caves and saw some amazing formations. The cave tour was pretty incredible and something that I would definitely recommend to anyone who gets a chance. As you may notice, it has been awhile since we had a Friendship Visit or any sort of interaction with people for whom we are doing the trip. In some ways it is feeling like a general bike tour so we are all pretty excited to get back to some larger cities with more organizations that cater to people with disabilities. Dinner was sponsored by a local service group and at dusk we otook a drive up Mt. Wheeler. The view was stunning from near the top of this 13,000 ft. peak.
