crop duster put a show on for me last night, right after dark, three bright lights, what looked like passes ten feet above the fields, guided by a truck with a flashing light at the end of the fields to mark the next pass... Need a strong heart and crazy mind to do that day in and day out i recall writing something about the size of some of the valleys being farmed in other states, they are nothing compared to what i am seeing now Bailey and Gabe rocks had a good day, think i have about 90 miles left, little less i guess... Trying to get over this last mountain... Was doing fine until the winds picked up, by fine i mean i had the bike in low gear and was moving along at a snails pace still i was moving... As i was climbing this mountain, i am on a freeway, have had to cross two bridges, first one i rode the bike, the 2nd i pushed it... Seen smoke earlier, figured a brush fire or something of that nature, as i climbed higher i came to an RV towing a car, both completely burned except for the shell... Nobody hurt.... California has these little pull outs where if your car is starting to overheat you can stop and add water that they have in barrels, seems like every quarter mile, i imagine it is more for the summer months... This climb is not nearly as bad as some of the others i have made.... hope to finish tomorrow evening, or sunday morning... Most of the ride will be downhill after i get over these last couple peaks...
