So I made it to Phoenix. About 9 hours to do 375 miles, which in my book is pretty damn good. Before this leg I've only been averaging 150 miles a day, which in large part had to do with the beautiful coast line. I almost wish that I would have found a campground near Joshua Tree and slowed this leg down a bit. Oh well... I have plenty of time to make random stops later. It definitely makes me think that I would love to do this trip again in the future... Only take more time :) Im tired... But one last thing. I love you mom! You are the most amazing woman I know. Thank you for giving your children gifts that money could never buy. This day exists because of people like you :)
