Day 3 Blythe to Aguila

Distance:  90 miles
Riding conditions:  Hot, flat, plenty of sun

Left California bright and early.  Rode over the Colorado River and within a few miles I was on I 10, which in Az is not bad riding.  Wide shoulder and only 2 lanes heading Eastbound.  While stopped on the shoulder and taking some2 photos, along comes another cyclist.  You know, just when you think that you are doing something reasonably difficult, along comes Morton.  He is a 43 year old letter crrier from Denmark who started his trip in Orlando on 3/4 and rode unsupported to Big Bear and is on his way back to Florida. Pretty amazing.  Rode the rest os the day together and since I am writing this post on day 5, I can tell you that we've been riding together for3 3 days now.  In a couple of days, after Silver City, he is taking more of a northern route while I will be heading further south.

Pulled into Aguila around 5.  A quick word about Aguila.  Its about 20 miles outside of Wickenburg, which is a really neat town that looks like something out of a western movie.  But since I didnt feel like riding an extra 20 miles, Aguila will have to do.  There is one motel, the Buro Jim.  One restaurant, Mama's.   But the room was only $45 and Mama made some pan fried chicken with mashed potatos and then brought some apple cobler pie.  Slept really good, even if I did have to move the night stand in front of the door since there was no dead bolt.
