San Ignacio to Santa Rosalita
Got a ride via truck for 25 miles
Dave and Val had offered me a ride up the first part of the hills. Yet another huge climb I was worried about. I was very hesitant to take it, but when I saw the forecast was for a headwind, it became an easier decision. They dropped me off at the top where I was immediately greeted with a huge downhill. As soon as that segment ended, the headwind became very apparent and I was grateful I had gotten the ride. Don't worry, I still had some climbing to do and on one particularly steep one, I was breathing so heavy, I was wondering if any oxygen was actually getting to my brain.

That's because the little rain there is runs off the pavement and soaks into the ground. Some is soaked under the pavement where it does not evaporate quickly like the surroundings. The combination of collected runoff and reduced evaporation provide the moisture needed for flowering.

Once I got back to the Sea of Cortez, the road took a turn for the worse. The pavement was very broken up and cracked which made for a slow, bumpy ride. Managed to pick out a hotel quicker than usual and made a great choice in Hotel del Real. Took a walk back to the big grocery store and later a short walk to see what I could see.
Today's ride: 21 miles (34 km)
Total: 1,452 miles (2,337 km)
