Day Two – Good Night

However, there is more to the story.  As you watch this video (posted hopefully tomorrow) you will see the tremendous effort that is required to go 13 miles of uphill.  Ben climbed approximately 1100 feet in that 13 mile stretch.  Ben has gone over 80 miles in the first two days in spite of the fact that those were the steepest hills he will encounter during his entire longboard trek through Utah.

Day Two: Well Received in Kane County

Highway Patrol and Sheriff’s offices have been awesome!

Ben expects to arrive in Panguitch this afternoon. Yesterday, during his first 30 miles, he experienced the friendship and generosity of people in Kanab, Mount Carmel, Orderville, and Glendale. The Highway Patrol and local Sheriff’s offices have been very supportive. Today he will roll through Hatch and Hillsdale on his way to Panguitch.
