2017 09-15 Brawley to Palo Verde

It will be difficult leaving the air-conditioned comfort of the Gateway Church’s fellowship hall today.  But we will leave and ride 72 miles to Palo Verde.  Glamis, 30 miles into the ride is the last place where a biker can buy water.  From Glamis to Palo Verde there is nothing but dessert.  Today I’ll let the pictures do most of the narrative on the ride but would like to make one observation.  The dessert has an interesting beauty to it that may be missed if passed at the speed of an automobile.  The bike traveler gets to stop anywhere along the rode and sense all the dessert landscape has to offer.   One more note on today’s ride.  It was 95 degrees and we were told we are lucky because last week it was 12 degrees hotter.

    Helen and I are "enjoying" your blog. Enjoying maybe overstating Helen's thoughts. She wonders why anyone would want to take the ST and is glad that I am home. I am glad that you are enjoying yourself. Keep going.
