After all this time - another new creature!
The side trip really was quite awesome on its own: marvelous new scenery that would not have been visible from the main path. However, there was another aspect that really was quite amazing. Some of you will remember North American creatures in the bike's path - an alligator in the Everglades, a moose in Alaska, a grisly in the Yukon. But this was a first; I had to slow down and stop to allow camels to cross that little road! Hot again here but this time I will savor it before I go back to the colder south. 97F tomorrow and Saturday in Camooweal but there is a great pool & facilities here (which includes a pub to get food and play music!) so I will stay until Sunday.
