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!
Was that the guy that re-routed you in the picture?
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work! Praying for you all.
ReplyDeleteWere you riding on interstate? Would love to do that sometime.
ReplyDeleteWow! 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!
