Its Hot in the Dessert

Dan's top ten list

The top ten indications that you may be in a dessert:
10 The only birds you see are dead
09 You see water that's really not there
08 You see a "Sand drifts next 7 mile" sign
07 Kind motorist stops and gives you water while you rest in the shade
06 Board border patrol ask you what in the world your doing
05 Storm drains are for sand
04 Sign states "Off the road capital of the world"
03 You drink 2 gallons of water in 3 hours
02 Gas and beer is cheaper than water
01 Price for a gallon of water is $ 4.35

On a serious note, I want to thank God and the generous people that enabled me to get this current bicycle. I also want to thank James at Holy Rollers for the large range gears, and new bearings. Along with saddle bags and other needed extras, I wouldn't want to be out here with out them.
God is so faithful. A bike and supplies are provided, the supplies are stolen, and God provides replacement. Thank you God for supplying all my needs. I'm convinced some one was praying for me when a couple stopped and gave me water yesterday. They had just bicycled across the pass, and almost ran out of water themselves and were sensitive to my need. Thank you for your prayers. Currently my zipper on my tent is not working and I'm getting bit up my dessert insects. Please pray the duct tape I'm about to buy will hold the door up at night, until I can get a new tent.
Like always, please email me at daniel.gibbs@yahoo.com with any prayer concerns.
The message for today is "Prayer changes things", thanks for visiting the site, God bless Daniel
