Catch a Falling Star

Davis mountains

I loved this lone wild sunflower against the backdrop of mountains.

Dry camp was actually lovely with no privation of coffee thanks to my sherpa hubby packing water💕

We started our day from Van Horn at 6:30 a.m. in a new time zone with complete darkness. Beginning with 20 miles on a quiet road with good lights under a brilliantly lit star filled sky was remarkable.  Right out of the gate, I saw a shooting star - a definite first on the  bicycle!

Next we had 20 easy freeway miles which was lucky because we were in for a steady 30 mile climb through the beautiful Davis mountains to our dry camp at a picnic area before the McDonald Observatory.
