March 12, Wednesday: Clear sailing

A great 60 mile ride today in sunny cool-ish weather from Blythe California to Salome Arizona.   Crossed the Colorado River and then rode through pretty much desert.  Saguaro cactus, chocolate Mountains, Lots of RV parks, and finally Don's bar across from our extremely modest hotel.  We celebrated the crossing of the state line with many pitchers of margaritas at the bar!




Here we are entering the town of Hope.  I think this was also featured in a recent Jack Reacher novel. In the novel, it was followed by a town called Despair, but we haven't come to that one yet.
 If only they could spell…


Not much for hotel rooms out here. My room is the Square building on the far left. Don't worry, I will live.

  1. Hi Lynne,
    Myself and Gail Devitt did this ride last year and we stayed in that same room in Salome. We found a expended shotgun shell outside our room. Have a great trip!
