 really enjoying this quiet, I'm really enjoying waking up and not looking at my phone right away and just being kind of disconnected, disconnected from like technology but very connected to the natural world, to Mother Nature and that makes me very happy. I think it's good for the soul to be this close to it all. Whenever I'm out in nature for an extended period of time it resets me in a lot of different ways. It makes me realize what's important in life and that's why I love adventures, that's why I love getting outside, that's why I love sleeping under the stars and just being out here all day, every day, breathing fresh air. How often do we get to do that in our daily lives? We're usually inside of a car or a building, you know, this is such a gift. I'm very grateful. Alright here's the fun part of the day getting all of this stuff in this little bag. Keep pushing! See how that works? Lickety-splickety. Getting a little salty back here bud. Oh that's gonna be another beautiful day. We got a few clouds in the sky, mostly blue, sun is shining. Ladies and gentlemen, no crashes, no whammies. No! Wait, flaties. Wait, yeah you did it out of order. Oh yeah, no crashes, no flaties, no whammies. Yeah! And we'll add on no getting losties today. Alright baby, it's just you and me and Matthew. It is Thursday today so I'd like to wish you all a happy Thursday. You see in Boulder on Thursday evenings we all get on our cruiser bikes and wear funny clothes and just ride around town honking our horns and ringing our bells and wishing everybody a happy Thursday. So I'm gonna miss that ride today. Happy Thursday everybody. Happy Thursday, happy, happy Thursday, happy Thursday, happy, happy, hey! We just got our first view of the La Salle mountains way off in the distance. That is where we are heading on day 6 the last night. That's where we will sleep and then we'll bomb down into Moab. So today's route is gonna be about 35 miles. There are some alternates that we can take. We'll figure that out when they get to us. Elevation gain is pretty mild today. I think about 2,500 feet both ways up and down and we're heading deeper into the desert. My happy place. Hey Matthew, guess what? We're going the right way! Yeah! You know what it's time to do? Pick some sage for good luck. Sage always protects me and it smells good. Something that I'm really appreciating about this route is that these tracks, these roads have very very little human traffic on them ever. We are we are out here and yeah it's complete solitude. All you're hearing is the crunch of rocks beneath the tires, your breath, wind blowing through the trees, occasional bird. We've been climbing a bit and now we get the reward. It's right here. Pretty darn pretty. So Matthew brought something extra special today which I think is kind of gross. Matthew, what is it? Well, let's see this. So you think it's gross but I bet a ton of people out there think that it's pretty damn delicious. No way! Assaulted nut roll! Assaulted nut roll. Now you were giving me all kinds of crap. You said if you're a six-year-old. If I was a six-year-old walking through 7-eleven and this is one of the options. There's no way in hell I'm picking this over a Snickers. Tell me why you want that. Why do I want that? Well it's salty, it's delicious, and the fact that you hate it so much actually makes me want it more. I think all of your viewers should start sending you boxes of salted nut rolls. Don't do that and comment below if you actually think this is good. Who buys this? Nobody. And what is that white stuff in the middle? That is delicious. Nuggets? That's vanilla nugget. Doesn't that look good? It looks like a log of disgusting peanuts stuck together with marshmallows. Oh man that's good. I bet you that box of salted nut rolls has been sitting in the hut for 17 years and you're the first person to take that. Not true. I am going to enjoy a Scratch Labs Boulder Colorado product. Kind of like a salted nut roll really but just looks a lot better. Have I told you I love the desert? I love the desert. I love the colors. I love how stark and barren it is. I love the plants. I love the lizards. I love the red sand. The scraggly old juniper trees. I love it all. Oh yeah. Oh man look at that. That's what I'm talking about. Shall we? I love it. Look my ancestors most have made a camp here before because you can tell all the cans of beans. These old mining camps are fascinating just to see what people have left behind from so so long ago. Check it out. It's an old soul to a boot. All the nails are all rusted up. Like this is a can of sardines right here. Look at that. Somebody was eating sardines. I bet a bunch of all salty dudes would sit around the campfire eat their beans and their sardines and tell stories and look out at this view and yeah. Look at this. Look what we just found. Wow. Look at that. I feel like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn discovering the world. How strong is this? Sketch ball. This is Ryan and this is the best idea I've ever had. Standing on an ancient wooden structure hanging over a cliff. Check this out. There were certainly a lot of hopes and dreams out here. People coming out to the American West looking for money a way to survive to make it big in this new world. All right. We are close to home. Let's do this. Whoa baby. Look at the beauty. This is pretty darn incredible. We thought last night's had an amazing view. Tonight we are going to be spoiled. Yeah. That was amazing. Wow. Ta-da. Look at the view. Look what we got here Ryan. What did you find buddy? Oh yeah. See how there's like not many taken. They're all yours. My bicycle has gotten me to some of the most beautiful places on the planet This is another one. Thank you so much to whoever I forget who invented the bicycle. Long ago. It has definitely made my life absolutely incredible and I love it. So Chef Matt what do we have tonight? Tonight we have bean burrito espaciel. We got some rotel. Oh yeah. Diced green chilies. Oh man. Then we have some cheese and cabbage. That's a pepper jack cheese. Oh baby. I'm so excited for burritos. Are you glad we did two cans of beans? Yeah that was good.
