Man, am I out of shape. The dessert between La and Blythe proved very challenging. Last time I crossed the Mohave I was in much better shape. I ran out of water once, and ran in to three sand storms.
God is good, he touched a couple from Florida's hearts to stop and give me water North of Meca. Yes I made it to Meca, California, that is, below sea level and very few places to get water. The first sand storm happened last night, a wind storm came through and took out my tent. With me in it, not much sleep last night. The last two were on I-10 East of Desert Center. Not real bad, but tough on the eyes.
I had to go 60 miles today before I could get food and water. I was so happy to finally make it to Blythe. Unlike I-8 going across California, I-10 proved difficult to navigate. Several times I had to turn around because a sign said no bicycles. From here to Cottonwood, I know the route so it should be less stressful.
I may sty a few days here in Blythe, I'll have to check out the tenting situation, bye dan
