Day 67: To Palo Verde, Ca
Thursday April 8, 2010, 84 miles (135 km) - Total so far: 3,125 miles (5,029 km)
CALIFORNIA!
By the time we started riding, the sun was already blazing. We put the sunscreen on and ht the road. It was nice riding all morning. We kept hearing noises on the side of the road, and eventually figured out it was lizards, about 5 inches long. As we'd get close to them, they'd scurry off into the brush. And they really moved. At about mile 50, we crossed the Colorado River, bringing is into California!! Our final state of the Southern Tier. We were very excited about this. We got to Palo Verde around 4:30. Knowing that tomorrow is about 65 miles of nothing, we decided to push an extra 9 miles to the furthest campground. Tomorrow we are headed to Brawley.
