Day 184. Oct 25th. Thursday. Needles to Essex, CA

Today’s ride was so different from yesterday.  2% uphill grade for 26 miles and that is my least favorite kind of riding.  I’d rather ride a pass like yesterday.  So much easier.

A mile from camp today we passed all this cool art work along side the road.  Hope you can see it ok.  The top one says POW MIA and the bottom says USA.

There were several and all the armed forces were represented.

We are camped at a truck stop today with no showers.  Our leaders gave each of us a pkg of wet wipes so we could sorta get clean.  We are out in the middle of the boonies again in the mojave desert.  Hot here and very little shade.

39.6 miles today.  5956.8 total
