Day 9

06 February 1998 (Route 95 near I-40 desert; mileage = 47.6) -- A - We had a nice, civilized breakfast and a soggy (no rain) tent to dry before leaving our $12 site. We had a nice tail wind all day -- we climbed gently for about 15 miles and then dropped like a bomb for 6-8 miles into Lake Havasu (?) City. It was a really big town full of old people. Lots of houses even. We rode across the London Bridge TWICE! It was quite exhilarating. We ate lunch at a public beach and then went a couple blocks to the Safeway. We escaped that town and it wasn't too long before we were climbing again. Not very steep, but pretty long. The views are nice, though. It looks just like Arizona is supposed to look. We neared I-40 and we found a nice spot off the road a bit. It rained a little. It seems like we can see snow on some not-so-distant mountains. Oh yeah -- we entered a different time zone at the Arizona border.
