I had both oatmeal and pancakes for breakfast this morning. I knew I was going to have to camp tonight and was aiming for Chapala, a truck stop about 50 miles away, where I had camped in 2014. I arrived a few hours before sundown and got some food at the restaurant. While I was eating a truck pulled up and the noise reminded me of how loud l could expect the night to be. I decided to ride for another few miles and camp in the desert away from the road, which I did. I didn’t take any pictures because I pitched my tent in a stream bed and was embarrassed to document such a foolish choice. But there were thorns everywhere else, and I’d seen satellite photos showing no chance of rain and decided to risk it. Slept well.
