Karl and Zach enjoyed their jeep ride into the desert last evening. Their tour guide took them up the side of a mountain and showed them old mine shaft. He also showed them what cactus in the desert is edible. They took pictures but as far as I know they were all with their good cameras and not the ones on their phones so I won't be able to post any of those until they get back.

Today, they rode 62 miles from Wickenburg, Arizona to Hope, Arizona bringing their total miles up to 3109. Karl told me it rained while they were eating breakfast this morning. By the time they got on the road the rain had changed to a cool sprinkle which lasted for their first 25 miles. Karl mentioned the temperature starts getting cooler around 4pm their time. When the sprinkle stopped the wind changed to a headwind which they had to fight the rest of the day. They are camping tonight.

If all got well they should enter California tomorrow.
