Day Two – Good Night
-
- Ben starts at sunrise every day.
-
- And the beauty inspires him to keep going.
-
- Ben enjoyed breathtaking scenery.
-
- Ben was treated to a great lunch by Henrie’s Drive-In.
-
- Henrie’s was representative of the nice people of Panguitch.
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.
Hooray for Henrie’s. I have stopped their many times, but I always drive in rather than board in. Congrats to Ben for traversing passed the Duck Creek turn off. If I recall, that’s over 7,000 feet up. Long slow breaths, kid. No fainting.
