March 12 - No cell phone or internet connection day
Blythe, CA to Salome, AZ - 64 miles
Another metric down! Whoo-hoo!
Upon leaving Blythe, we rode 4 miles to the Colorado River (photo above) crossing which is also the border crossing. We are now in Arizona! Then we started climbing to the 2,000 feet level and rode through places like Quartzite, Brenda and Hope. At the end of the day we all celebrated our first border crossing with a margarita party! I can't wait for a next border crossing.

Today we rode 57 miles to Wickenburg, the Dude Ranch Capital of the World. Wish I had the energy to check out the local dudes, but I am too tired and smell like Bengay. I should buy stock in the company and some in Advil, too. I think those two things are going to get me thru this trip.
The scenery is beautiful and weather has been perfect these past few days. People who know me know I like cows and like to moo to them on my bike rides. These guys (photo above) came over to the fence to greet me. Aren't they too cute? Reminds me of the movie "City Slickers."
