Through the desert toward Yuma

I'm heading out into the desert now, along the Interstate 8 frontage road. I'm accumulating mileage slowly and it will take me a while to make it across the border into Arizona and to arrive in Yuma. I sure hope I can find a cold margarita there when I arrive. There's not too much of anything out on this road right now.

I'll post my latest position map here and update it for the next few days as the scenery will change slowly.

I'm on what is called the Evan Hewes Highway, which was named after an official of the Imperial Irrigation District. It hasn't been repaved in years, which makes it a little hard on my tires.
