Day 42: A nice ride through the deserted desert.

Tuesday November 8, 2011, 65 miles (105 km) – Total so far: 2,313 miles (3,722 km)

We got a nice early start at sunrise for the 65 miles to Gila Bend, AZ. It was a fun ride through low passes and many different kinds of cacti. Jocelyn was a little perturbed that I was stopping so often to take pictures of cactus. Again – we don’t see this in Florida. We arrived in Gila Bend early but the next accommodation, a camp site, isn’t for another 70 miles so we decided to stay. Tomorrow Yuma.

Christmas in Casa Grande already.
