After enjoying spacious camping we pack to leave for Eureka when Martha finds yet another flat, her second and third of the trip. At least we are in an easy place with floor pump no less to fix it. She makes short work of it and we are on our way. A fun and fast down hill from our camp area and across another flat old lake bottom then up to our only pass of the day, Hickison at 6,594 ft and the site of some nice petroglyphs. We descend into a very big valley that seemed to last forever. We luckily find a shady place to stop for our break and another stroke of luck, Bill finds us and resupplies our water. We are always thankful for that. The flat gets very monotonous and we are happy that Bill has booked us into the Best Western in Eureka as the camping in Eureka is worse than dismal!
TOTAL: 1 pass -64 miles
