Day 6, Mar 27 Blythe, CA to Salome, AZ 56.6 miles, Cuml 310.5











Today we rode from Blythe, CA to Salome, AZ. We started out crossing the Colorado from CA to AZ. We were on I-10 for about 15 miles or so, and deserted desert roads the rest of the day, with towns about every 10 miles and 3 mountains to cross, at 1250, 1750, and 2000 ft, and we ended the day at about 1900 ft. Remember those big western valleys you drove across in your car??? And they took about 15 minutes to cross? Well, we did it on bikes, and it takes hours... Leaving the town of Hope, AZ we found a sign that would not win the spelling bee. We are having burgers and turkey dogs tonight, with baked beans. Stay at the front of the line tomorrow. The other pictures are of Brenda, AZ, where the snow birds live in RVs and drive around in ATVs.
More on the nut butter. Imagine getting up in a cold tent. You get dressed and warm, have breakfast, etc., and then spread a load of mayonaise on your butt. You get the picture, it is cold and now you are awake and ready to ride.
