Day 7 - Quartzite, AZ

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/594957464

Great day for a ride.  We made it to Arizona.  I rode solo today which was fine
I caught up on the weeks news listening to podcasts while I rode.  I have a speaker on my handlebar which connects to my phone by bluetooth.

We started in the agricultural area near the Colorado River and rode into the Arizona deserts.  Having lived here, I can see the beauty in the area.  It looks green to me, probably from the heavy rain two weeks ago.

I took a picture of an jet on a truck and our lodging (Quartzite Yacht Club), which indicates to me that the folks around here get a little too much sun which gives them an odd sense of humor.  I am staying in the US Constitution trailer. 

I am at McDonald's doing the blog.  I had a young woman run up to me and ask me where I was from and where I was going.  That happens a lot.  We stayed at a youth center a few nights ago and the leader asked us about the ride.  He said the kids were curious.  The rider offered a map to show them the trip and he said that they understood where we were going, but could not understand WHY?
