Eureka!

So we woke up in the small town of Austin. It was freezing out. I am having trouble understanding this Nevada weather. The terrain of our ride was not too bad, but having a headwind can make cycling extremely difficult.

Eureka was a nice little town. It even had an opera house. Lunch was provided a local diner called DJ's and they even gave us milkshakes. Dinner was provided by the local Lions club chapter, but I think everyone was still full the lunch at DJ's. Going into these small towns I wonder why people live here. I feel like some of these towns are a couple years behind the rest of the U.S. However, they seem to love it and it works for them. They like the feeling of wide open spaces. In fact one member from the Lions club said that if a stop light was put in the town that he would move out. Apparently Eureka is usually in the top ten for richest county's in america, mostly because of their local gold mines; go figure.
