Big River, Las Vegas, Joshua Tree and Los Angeles

This is going to be a REALLY short post...

I made it to Los Angeles, where I am staying with former SSA coworker Eric Norton and his girlfriend for two nights. I arrived here fresh off a one night stay in Joshua Tree National Park - an amazing place if you haven't been. I rode my bike 22 miles along the rolling hills in the park, set up camp, and did a little climbing yesterday and then hiked 2 1/2 miles this morning before I left for LA.

Las Vegas was great... I ate at a ton of buffets. Didn't gamble much, but for the $1 I played in the slots, I won a dollar back! I stayed with Grandpa in Big River, CA for a couple days. I am so glad we got to spend some time together since we haven't seen much of each other over the years.

I won't have much access to the Internet before the ride, but keep your eyes open for LOTS of photos and posts about these recent adventures once I return. I WILL be posting to the blog via Twitter throughout the ride... Stuff like "Day Three: I want to DIE!" Look for those posts in the right column of the page.

Anyway... Thanks to everyone for your messages of encouragement and whatnot! Dan Maxey - OUT. (I'm in Hollywood, Ryan Seacrest's town... Couldn't resist.)
