Where in the heck is Yermo, California? Well, it's just east of Barstow, off Hwy 15. Yup, in the middle of no freakin' where.
After leaving Flagstaff, we decided to make some headway toward home. If we stopped in Needles, then we would most likely make another stop somewhere near Bakerfield. With these two exciting possibilities, both Mr. B (back in the saddle for a couple hours today) and I went for some miles today. Just over 350 miles. Our longest and roughest day yet. I-40 between Flagstaff and Barstow is far from smooth, which translated into a very noisy, tiring day.
So, here we are in Yermo. It was pretty hot when we arrived, but it pretty pleasant now with the sun down. Wifi is limited and device specific, but no matter. No pics today.
We may bypass our last stop in Paso Robles. The "plan" was to spend a few days doing some wine tasting. There are some gems in the Paso area, but temperatures are expected in the high 80's to mid 90's. It seems we've come full circle: the beginning and end of our trip are altered by temperature.
Well, it has been three weeks on the road. There is still so much to see and do, but life is calling us back home. There will probably be a couple more blog entries to wrap it all up and say farewell to Mofo.
Until then.
