Day 24 Saturday February 1


End of bike ride - note 100% linen shirt from Angel View second hand store in Palm Springs which says M but hangs like an XXL
result of turning van around


     Woke, breakfasted, biked 15 miles into the desert, lunched, planned next move. S wants to beat feet for Austin by way of McAllen which means interstate and motels which is cool because we have only had one of the latter and that was the bent gutter no breakfast place in Morro Bay those many weeks ago. Also S said why not turn the rig around for more shade on the open side so did and it was way better. It's a simple life down here on the southern border. Further S wants to drive down to the border itself to see the wall, but I doubt there is one; last year there was a 3 foot high one board fence that I could have almost cleared without touching followed by a busy highway on the Mexican side.
As night falls I see the guy across from us towards Nogales not only smokes cigarettes and cigars but he has a green light headlamp. Also he coughs. The night is very soft tonight here. Venus and the Moon are the openers.
