Gadzooks! It's hard to imagine a 140 (let alone 180) mile day. Impressive. In hindsight, had I turned left on 67 for Deckers, I would have had secluded paved road most of the way back. No cell signal till I'm almost home, but I likely would have gotten water and returned under my own power. I wasn't cooked, but arguably my brain was. Sardonic grin.
