California done!

Sunday, May 6 finished 7 days of biking over 330 miles and most of it across the Mojave Desert. This last day of biking in California, 50 miles outside of the town of Needles, continued to fascinate us. Trains were snaking through miles and miles of colorless, barren land. The bikers' friendly waves to the graffitied covered trains brought cheery whistles in response. One engineer even stopped to chat to Stan and Roy. And could you blame her?... two spirited bikers on barely traveled roads! I told Stan to find me some desert flowers and sure enough he did. But the bikers are tired...time for a rest. We begin again on Wednesday. We will be heading into the state of Arizona.

Dear Mrs. Rose,
Sorry we have not written in a few days. We are having trouble with the computers at school. How are you. Is it still windy where you are. Santa Maria is really hot. It was 91 yesterday. You are probably hot too if you are in the desert. We hope you are having a good time.
