I woke up feeling solid enough to ride, and held down a big breakfast without any issue. My goal for the day was to simply take a bite out of my remaining miles to Phoenix, pump some fresh air into my system and try to stay dry while doing it. My unlimited downtime yesterday afforded me the luxury of endless internet forecast research, and I charted myself a route straight outta Nevada, then south across the Mojave Desert on the 178, the 127, Kelbaker Road, and Amboy Road, bringing me out through the slightly-creepy ranch country at the north edge of Joshua Tree National Park for night. |
