Catching Up

Not much time to blog. I've had a busy evening with maintenance (bike/body repair, laundry, etc) and have to get some sleep. I had some time last night, but the Internet connections were not working at the Wigwam, so tonight I'll just post photos with lame thoughtless captions. Sorry, but no history lessons today...

Very briefly, I just finished day two on Route 66 and am in Barstow. Lot's of stoplights (294 -- really) and concrete yesterday getting out of LA. Lot's of climbing today. Looks like climbing will be a theme for a couple of weeks until we get past the continental divide. Highlight photos below.
