Going through the Desert on a Bike with No Name

Karl and Mo made it 86 miles to Blythe, CA today.  They were enjoying the 80 degree weather and an awesome tail wind.  They got to see all of the wonders of the desert.  From agricultural fields to sand dunes to the Chocolate Mountains.  There weren't many places to stop on their route today so lunch was in the middle of the desert.  No, they didn't feast on scorpions and cacti, they had Fettucini Alfredo with Turkey.  Thank goodness for freeze dried meals!  They were going to stop in Palo Verde this afternoon and spend the night, but there was only a trailer park to stay at.  And, since Karl and Mo are high on the night life, a trailer park just wouldn't do.  So, with the tail wind as their friend, they went another 20 miles and got to Blythe.  Tomorrow they will cross the border into Arizona and they're hoping to make it to Hope, AZ.  
Until Tomorrow....


P.S.  The credit for the title of this post has to go to Mo.  I think he was singing it as he was riding today.  Maybe they'll find a karaoke bar so he can test out his new version of the song.
