3 big happenings today. We left Vegas at about 5:00 am to beat the heat, and I saw my first real-life prostitute! She was walking home and blew me a kiss……and everyone else in my pace line. That’s one. Second, shortly after that, a crackhead shouted to us that she hated us and wanted us to die. Pretty funny. Third, WE ARE FINALLY OUT OF NEVADA!! Save Las Vegas, I hate that state. There is nothing there. After a long, hot ride over yellow hills, we crossed the Colorado river into Bullhead City, AZ. Its pretty close to California; we actually passed a town, originally named Cal-Nev-Ari. Coming downhill into Bullhead City, we hit a wall of heat. It was warm to begin with, but as we crested our last hill and rode the 6% grade over the river, it covered us like a blanket. It was an interesting experience, because I had been warned about before this trip. Our excitement turned to frustration as we pushed through the last five miles to lodging on a busy, graveley, and waterless ride. Our efforts were again rewarded with no running water at Bullhead Junior High and we were shuttled to a motel that was kind enough to let us use the showers in their rooms. We caught some CNN to catch up with the real world, only to find that there is nothing else happening in the world except for our presidential election.
We had dinner with Freemasons at lodge NO. 68. We got a tour and the opportunity to learn about this “secret society.” I got a t-shirt and hat from them as an award for having the most flats
