Day Nineteen - Feeling Hot Hot Hot
*** To place this in context and view the timeline, begin by clicking on 'About This Blog' *** Saturday, 03 November 2012. This was to be another hot day of riding across the desert. The pattern seemed to be: long flat stretch of desert riding toward an up crop of rocks, foothills, mountains - I don't know what to call them.

(with some help from Ken's brother Ron who drove the 12 hours with us!)

... more than 20 miles away. But for a few days it will be great so we set up and enjoyed it.
Cissie & Mike and their friends Ruth & Roger came the second day we were there. We didn't do much that day but made plans to hike the Table Top Trail the following day. It turned out to be quite interesting in several ways. It was only 3.5 miles up but had an elevation change of 2000' which is a lot! The trail guide warned us that the 15 miles of gravel road going to ...
