Chapt

 One state down 7 to go. Starting to work our way across AZ.now. We have completely left the agricultural areas now that we are riding away from the Colorado river. As I ride through the desert I'm wishing I had gotten a copy of "Everything you wanted to know about Cacti, but were afraid to ask". This is probably the warmest day so far, but it is hard to confirm this as we have not gone through a community large enough to have a legible thermometer. Leaving Blythe & Ehrenberg this morning I was actually riding on the freeway(interstate 10) for about 17 miles. Once I got back on hwy 60 it was so quit , traffic wise, that it was almost deafening. With the quiet ride I started to notice how everything in the desert struggles just to survive. It's Mother Natures way of reminding us just how precise life is.Went through a small community called Brenda, AZ. Had to take a picture of the sign for Brenda Webb, who works at Costco as a front end supervisor and who is a big contributor to C.M.N. We got to Augila today and for the first time I was able to ride  our actual agenda. Long pull tomorrow, over 120 miles through Phoenix and into Apache Junction.
Stay well and keep smilin
Love the picture????   :-))))))
