Day 4 Coober Pedy to Yulara and Ebeneezer

It sure was nice and dark in the motel. Those in the back rooms didn't surface until nearly 8am. Well, we all needed a good sleep.

On the road again before 9am, our goal today is to meet up with Drain at Ebeneezer and then go to Yulara to witness the start of his ride.

The ride up the highway was uneventful, only stopping at Marla for fuel and the SA/NT border for photos.

We arrived at Ebeneezer and found Drain, who had been resting up for a day. We all went the two more hours to Yulara. We had a couple of hours to spare so went and got some photos of the Rock and checked on the timing of the servo's cash register. It was a few minutes out from real time and as Drain's ride is to be timed we had to calculate what time to be at the counter to get a 7pm receipt. The blokes running the servo were helpful and intrigued.

At 7pm on the dot, we got the receipt and Drain headed out the door, on his bike, and was gone.

The rest of us headed back out on the highway and had a nice dinner at Curtain Springs roadhouse before travelling on to Ebeneezer, our digs for the night.

I couldn't sleep and as there is no phone service at Ebeneezer, I left early and traveled to Erldunda. From here I can keep an eye on Drain's SPOT tracker while I wait for the servo to open and Tack, Dave and Grumpy to catch up.
