The neighbor across the street from Amanda’s house greeted me as I was getting ready to leave in the morning. The man there gave me a bag of homegrown dates. They were delicious.
I crossed the state line into Arizona and went to a laundromat. While my clothes washed I bought fruit and snacks.
There was a tailwind as I rode on but there were rain clouds ahead. I hadn’t seen rain clouds in a long time.
I saw Laughlin across the Colorado River as I rode through Bullhead City.
I stopped at a visitors center and Sam’s Club. When I got back on the road it had started raining. Soon it was dark and raining hard. It was dark, rainy, and cold so I looked for a place to camp out of the rain. Just ahead was a building for lease. I went to it and the driveway was gated so cars couldn’t enter. There was no one in the building and it had a carport. I setup my tent there and went to sleep early.
