After 10 fun, hot downhill miles to the Stovepipe Wells store for cold drinks, who pulls up but Phil and Renée!

The ride from Emigrant Campground 2000 feet to here at Stovepipe Wells (100 feet below sea level) was easy and fun, with hot, dry air blowing against me.

While hanging out in front of the Stovepipe Wells store consuming cold drinks (Sobé grapefruit again), which taste so good, and which will be my last cold anythings for a few hours, Phil and Renée pull up into the parking lot!

We chat and get someone to take a group photo of us together, which we didn't do yesterday. Phil and Renée go across the road to rent their motel room for the day, and I cross the road also to get some cooler water for my Camelbak, whose water is already hot.

We say our goodbyes again.
