30. stage at 07/18/2011 from Balko, OK to Hwy Crossing 412/283, OK, (day: 51.9miles / overall.: 1348.4miles)

This morning we saw everybody crawl sluggish out of his bed. Very late the light was turned on. Everybody packed his stuff and had breakfast. The prestage meeting was inside. But there was not much to say. After the group photo we started. Everybody started by walking. If you are an outside, you could not believe these runners go from Los Angeles to New York.

Also the landscape did not change today. Well, it was getting a little bit hillier. Also I saw some more turtles. One was still living. After around 50 kilometers I met a group of cyclists. They just had a break and supported themselves. I talked to them and they told me they cycling from Georgia to Los Angeles. They are doing about 130 kilometers per day. Today we passed an historical marker which remembers to the previous name of the region – No mans Land. Well, if you look around you really can believe that. After 75 kilometers there was on turn. You should not miss it. Laure put arrows on the floor, so we got attention. There was also a TV-reporter waiting at this point. He was from the Oklahoma Newschannel 4 (www.KFOR.com)

The motel owner welcomed me at the finish line. We took photos and I gave an interview to the reporter from the television. At the evening we had dinner served by the motel owner. It was a sign of honor for our adventure. There was a lot. At 7:30pm when Makoto, Bando and Markus arriving the thermometer still showed 43°C (109°F) at the shadow. So you can guess how high the temperatures during the noon time were.
