The desert is beautiful, in a harsh kind of way. Lots of life there, which is amazing. Cool flowers, lots of lizards and some snakes (saw two roadkill snakes today, but wasn't lucky enough to see any live. Lots of live lizards, scampering about; and doing "push ups" when they aren't running. Man, I keep thinking about that movie Rango. Gotta watch that again when we get home. "What's yer name, pardner?"
Biked the 2 miles into town for some snacks; and we thought, at about the same time, if they have burgers let's get one. Sure enough, one bar and one gas station. Had a burger with fries and a cold Budweiser. Oh, so good, especially after 70 miles of biking in the desert. And we had some fascinating conversations with the other patrons - who pretty much called us cheeseheads, crazy, and then wished us luck, be safe.
They were talkin' about fishin', and, now, starin' at the lake, I'm thinkin' "Next time I do this I am SO bringin' a fishin' rod."
I think their exact words were "nutty as fuity cake".
