I had a good sleep last night. This morning I woke up at 6:30 and got everything ready by 7. Breakfast started at 7 AM and I was the first one there. I had a bagel with cream cheese, two yogurts, and a cup of coffee. I took a banana, an apple, and two pastries for the road.
After checking out, I started riding north to Milford. I finally had some tailwind. The hill wasn't bad at all compared to what I did yesterday. After reaching the summit, I rode comfortably to Minersville. In a gas station convenience store, I bought a one liter bottle of soda so I can use the bottle to store more water. Then I bought a bag of chips to snack on. There were some smoke blowing into town. I overheard that there are three forest fires nearby, so I decided to leave.

I continued about 14 miles to Milford. The ride was mostly flat or downhill. I went over a bridge before arriving in downtown. There was a Family Dollar on the side of the street. I stopped to buy a can of sunblock. Then I rode a couple of blocks to The Station Restaurant and had a chicken lo mein for lunch. It was pretty good. Hudson Inn, the motel where I'll be spending the night, is just next door. After checking in, I took a shower and washed more clothes. Now all of my clothes are clean.

I also filled up all of my water bottles, including the ones I had just received in Cedar City. I have a total of 294 ounces of water, or 2.3 gallons, or 8.7 liters. I think that'll be enough for the two day ride to Baker, Nevada. Tomorrow, I hope to find the abandoned shack around the half way mark at mile 42 and camp there for the night. The next day I'll make it to Baker.

After taking a short nap, I walked to the library across the street to write this blog post. I'll get some dinner around town before calling it a day.
