Day 5 (Wed 1/19) -after 4 challenging days we decided to take it easy today by going a shorter distance (40 miles) to a really cool camping spot on the Colorado River near the AZ border.
We started the day by biking through the sand dunes watching dune buggies shoot up rooster tails of sand as they climbed from one peak to the next. The route then took us through the Chocolate Mountains. For some reason we had a strong desire to stop and get ice cream after riding through this mountain range. I have some money my nephew Andrew gave me that I have set aside especially for ice cream.
We had our favorite camp site this night. It was on the edge of the Cibola National Wildlife Refuge. It has it's own dock and Lenny (Aaron's dad who is driving the support RV) caught a couple really good size catfish. We had delicious battered and fried fresh catfish for dinner as we watched the moon rise over the Palo Verde Mountains.
