A big milestone, my bike turned over 10,000 miles!!!! Of course I didn’t put all those miles on by myself, but I did a lot of them since 1997!

Less than 1 mile from camp and I caught the last tenth of a mile on the odometer.

To the magic 10,000!

On the way to Palm Canyon to view the only native Arizona palm trees (which incidentally are California fan palms, Washingtonia filifera).

The palms are in a narrow side canyon, high up on the sides of the main canyon.

We found a nice spot on the way into the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge just south of Quartzsite, AZ.

The sunset reflected on our ‘house’ (for the time being).

We spent the night in Searchlight, NV. Who would have thunk it? But the sun was going down and we needed to stop.

A colorful mural in Searchlight.

A beautiful day to take a walk down to the fishing hole and toss a line in!

Line in, with a beautiful backdrop of fall color.

Catch a beautiful rainbow trout!

And release! What more can you ask for on a fall day?

One of the delicious grilled salmon dinners! A departure party included!

This was the biggest whole fish Robert brought back, then filleted for tonight!

Grilled and ready to serve!
