Goodbye California, Hello Arizona!

​Yesterday was a long day but a good ride to Yuma. We did not set out to ride 80 miles, but Google took us the wrong way to our Warm Showers host for the night. We enjoyed a meal of lasagna (I ate 3 pieces), salad and bread, followed by a shower and soft bed. This morning they are fixing a huge breakfast to send us on our way to Dateland today.

The ride from El Centro to Yuma took us on and off I-8 and some frontage roads that wore us out. I'm sure Ruby has worked some screws loose, so I will be checking her out and greasing the chain before we leave. 

Yesterday we went from fields of cabbage, lettuce, carrots, to the barren desert, to the Imperial Sand Dunes as far as you could see. Also, did you know the center of the world is in Felicity, California?!? We rode right by it.  Once in Arizona, we were on a gravel levee until a friend helped navigate us to our destination. Pictures will have to come later. There is no internet/Wi-Fi here.

Wonder what's behind that wall of sand?
