This should be my last day in California. The Arizona border is just a few miles down the street. This was a very quiet rest day. I even took an afternoon nap.
All ready for church! Yes, my shorts are wet. I got toothpaste splatter on them, so wiped them off with a washcloth. It will dry in a few minutes outside. By the way, I really like the shelf in my room, which is perfect for doing computer work. And the shelf in the bathroom is just right for charging devices.
I attended the local Calvary Chapel, where I met Ken, Jimmy, and Rudy. Afterwards, I had the Shrimp Enchilada Plate at the Courtesy Coffee Shop.
Saw this sign on a telephone pole in town. What could it possibly be for? Anyone?I really like my new shorts, and have decided that I don’t need my bulky sweats. I will leave them behind in the motel room with a note that they can dispose of them as they see fit. I originally got those sweats from a dumpster, anyway.I went back to Sizzler for dinner, and got the Craft Salad Bar, which would normally be $12, but showed my room key for the discount. The cashier told me that beverages were to the right, which surprised me, because I hadn’t ordered a beverage. When I looked at the receipt, I realized that she had rung up the Senior Salad Bar, which includes a beverage. I’m technically not a senior by their measure – I just look like one. Good dinner.
The goal for tomorrow is Quartzsite, AZ, which should be straightforward if I leave in the cool of the morning. It’s just about 25 miles away, and one climb. If I’m feeling really strong, I might try for Salome, which is another 40 miles. However, I’m not optimistic about doing another 3 hills in the heat of the afternoon.
