Day 3 - May 21 - Riverside to Palm Desert, CA

Day 3 - May 21 - Riverside to Palm Desert, CA
107 miles - 15 hours of frustration and pure joy

Wow!  Glad it's over!  At least three times we were re-routed, which added miles and difficulty (i.e. - mountains).  However, just when we thought we were completely wasted, God provided a wonderful tail breeze and a long downhill nearly all the way to Palm Desert.  Then, God provided a wonderful couple, George & Nancy Stock, to host us!  Absolutely wonderful -- they live on a golf course!  George is a Vietnam Vet -- having been the navigator in F-4's, and is an avid cyclist!  We are truly blessed and are now heading to bed!

P.S. - I really felt your prayers today!  And, we could use them tomorrow as we attempt to get back on I-10, and have 103 miles to Blythe!

  4. Wow! I didn't know you were allowed on the interstate! At least it isn't as hot in the Palm Desert area as it would be in August! Praying for you!
