Wednesday, April 16th

Today started at mile marker 80,still in the Mojave Desert, but not as
remote as before. There are small towns every few miles. Traffic was
light and as we breezed along we came upon a Turkey Vulture along the side of the road eating what looked like a snake. Eventually we came to the town of Aguila, a very small town.
We walked on and came to acres and acres that were irrigated and
planted in what we think was some type of crop that is feed to cows.
On we walked and came across our first coyote road kill. Yesterday a
live coyote, today a flat one. And just as we were finishing up for
the day, two bicyclers came by and stopped to chat.
They were Peter and Matt and had started their cross country trip in
St. Augustine, Florida and were going to finish in San Diego. We took
their photo and they took ours and we wished each other a safe
journey. We finished with a record today, we waked 18 miles, our best
yet. I found a 10 '' channel lock, a marble, a golf ball and .11
cents. Stay tuned ...
