A ribbon of highway!
4 years agoHa! I think we'll be OK in our liberal hippie co-housing bubble.
I'll try to encourage Ron to avoid blurting out "Boobs!" when we're out and about in town.
Actually, I can well identify with those who think the desert is bare. As a 10 year old from Indiana, moving to Mojave was traumatic. No trees to climb, no berries to pick, no streams or pools of water with frogs and tadpoles. It probably took about 2 or 3 years before I actually began to like it. Within a few more years, I'd become a confirmed desert rat.
4 years agoSuggestive, alright. Say - are you two aware that Silverton is a fairly conservative community? Your bad boy may need to curb his instincts a bit.
4 years agoThanks, Bill. I agree - I don’t understand why more people aren’t drawn to the desert but it’s one of my favorite environments. I could really come down here every year and be quite happy.
You’re right about Red Rock Canyon too. It’s really beautiful, and we rode it last time. We’d thought we would spin through it again this time but decided at the last minute to spend another day in the valley.
Interesting how your view of the desert contrasts with so many other cyclists who say things like " There's NOTHING out there... NOTHING!" and "It is so boring. I never want to come back!" Your view is refreshing to say the least.
I feel a slight tinge of jealousy while you hang your hat in the 'Vegas area for a couple days, as I have a daughter and 3 grandkids in the area, a good friend in Henderson, another in N. Las Vegas and another somewhere in that area as well. So much to see while in the area. Red Rock Canyon is quite nice, and many cyclists ride there.
I wonder if Ron will comment on the shape of today's ride(?)

4 years agoRachael on the other side of the road closed sign, your bike and its cool shadow ... Love it!
4 years agoColors, and contours, and shadows, oh my!
4 years agoOh, yeah. That black hat looks menacing.
Don't mess with that guy!
Wow! So other-worldly.
4 years agoIt’s been a pretty great antidote for missing Spain, alright. The American Southwest is pretty astonishing country too, and has other benefits - Like dinner at 5 if you want it.
4 years agoWhat an incredible landscape with wonderful photos and videos. It doesn't look like a bad transition from Spain. If only there were some Spanish villages to be had along the way.

Great photo of you two!
