Getting Out of Antelope Wells


"The ugly truth about finishing the GDMBR is there's no easy way out of Antelope Wells if one elects not to pedal 75 miles back north to I-10. Some arrange to have family or friends scoop them at the border but for those riders without that luxury, a little creativity is called for. It doesn't help that it's typically a motivation-stifling 110+ degrees F. by July 1st."

... damn, that's +40° degrees Celcius ...
