DESERT EXERCISE


12 March 2011:  We did a nice 2 mile walk first thing this morning.  Then after breakfast we jumped on our bikes and did a 10 mile ride.  Both of us were a little tired after that.  Did manage to do a little (1 mile) of paved road and that was a treat.  We don’t ever get our bikes on black top as we generally ride gravel and two tracks.  I managed to get 17.9 mph according to my gps on that smooth road.  WOW!  We needed to do a lot of exercising as we went out to Wayne and Audie’s last night for supper and of course had to have a lot of dessert. 
We are really glad we put in the solar panel.  It charged the batteries up in less than 3 hours this morning.  We did a little work on securing it better to the camper jack.  I had to get up in the middle of the night and put it in the jeep as we had some pretty good winds going there for a little while.  So thought we had better get it fixed up better.  Will make a bracket for it this summer so it will be easier to hook up.  Warm down here.  I saw 89 degrees on the thermometer this afternoon.  It said  90 yesterday.  We were going up by Parker today to do some kayaking and exploring around up there, but they are having a jeep rally and other things going on so decided to just head to Ajo tomorrow.  

A nice gentleman from Washington took our picture with Connie's phone at the end of the black top today.
