Today has been wonderful, by far the best day of the trip. 82 miles today. I have been in 4 different eco systems. I started in high desert, then moved into a wetlands area. It must be a migration corridor. There were so many different birds, many of whom looked to be ocean fowl. Then I moved into the mountains, dry and wind swept. Finally, I followed a river through a gorge. Absolutely beautiful. I took so many pictures, but I am sure they will not do it justice. The canyon walls towered what had to be 1000 feet above the river and the road. Amazing.
I am just about to sleep, and I hear an owl hooting. Night before last it was coyotes. I think I like the owl better.
