Today was our longest ride so far st 65 miles. We started at 6am to avoid the midday heat. The ride was mostly flat and uneventful. Coming from Michigan the scenery is new an unique to me, miles of desert scrub and a few cacti. Purple mountains in the north and the Mexican boarder just to the south. We passed through Date City and saw a large date plantation, while I was eating dried dates - one of my favorite bike snacks. We saw lots of boarder patrol again today. One sight like home was the southern edge of Imperial Sand Dunes. We crossed the mighty Colorado River and then crossed into Arizonan, our first state crossing on the trip. We arrived about 2pm with temperatures still below 100. A great day!
