3/11/15 Blythe, CA to Salome, AZ 64 miles

We had 2,000 feet of climb today with some head winds and a lot of long uphill grades.  We went on 30 miles of I-10 (it was the only way) but the shoulders were wide and smooth.  We did have to avoid many pieces of 18-wheeler tire shreds, but the rigs themselves often moved over whenever they could.  The big pieces of tire are easy to avoid, but those small pieces with the tiny wires are the ones that will blow bike tires!

    Rita, shouldn't that sign read "YOU'RE NOW BEYOND HOPE"?

      That's funny! Results of the lowest bidder. Get what you pay for...

    I think the grammatical error was intentional so it would be noticed. However, the town was only a couple of blocks long, so who knows? Like Mike said, maybe the job went to the lowest bidder!

    Mark, Thanks! I am trying to keep up with daily blog entries. Sometimes we don't have a strong enough Wifi connection (or none at all), but there will be entries for each day as soon as possible.
