Downhill was awesome, I took tons of pictures of the desert mountains around us, but none with my phone because might drop it. Sorry.
At lunch I heard a gross story. Two days ago, Kyle G was bit by a spider on his cheek. Last night he woke up in pain and walked to the hosiptal. The doctor found the bite inside his mouth (yep the spider went in his mouth while he slept). He got a shot of anti-venom and anti swelling because it was a hobo spider. You can wiki it. But gross! I feel bad for him.
Then I waited around at lunch a while so I could ride with AK now that the climb was over. We got chased by a dog - and didn't even realize he was coming till he was half a foot from my pedal. We got scared and the boys infront wouldn't speed up. Luckily he lost interest. Sneak attack.
We also saw a dust bowl storm thing today where in the distance you had a funnel of dust from the ground a few hundred feet into the air. Pretty cool.
Tonight my only prank of the trip finally played out! Nolan, the trip prankster was busted. We had a guy take all his clothes while he was in the shower and replaced them with abbys dress - result he had to wear it the whole walk back :)
Count it!
Then we had a long long affordable housing meeting where we discussed all the grants we recieved and how to split up the money we fundraised. Part two will be tomorrow.
