Day 7: May 18
Day Mileage: 100
Total Mileage: 650
Besides the AZ Strip section this was one of my favorite days of the trip.
I think I finally fell asleep just before dawn and got a few hours in once the wind calmed down before sunrise.
Needless to say it was a late start by the time I got up...
Here are the GPX Files : Didn't do anything worth sharing on the 4th day of truck repair. Looks like Day 7 I only got the very end of the track for some reason.

9 years later and I am planning my first Arizona Strip trip this May. Amazing Trip report.
I was looking at Mollies Point on maps from stumbling over a couple mentions of it and this is the first detailed report I have been able to find. I was curious what that route looks like now but seems...
