It's another exciting day in the life of Bike and Build as we crossed our last state line into California. We've been really lucky and the storm that came through last night and cloud cover this morning kept the weather bearable until our arrival in Blythe just before noon. We're waking up at 4am these last few mornings to beat as much of the heat as possible, and the plan worked today; we'll see about tomorrow! Blythe is a large town just over the state border, and a few of us went out to a great Mexican restaurant for lunch here. We're hosted by the Stream in the Desert Church, a Foursquare church in Blythe, and staying as much in the air conditioning as possible. Two more stops until San Diego!
Bike odometer: 3236 miles

Good morning Meredith.
Having been without a PC for 3 weeks due to a system failure, I've been out of touch. It's great to be able to catch up with you once again.
Viewing your photos and reading your reports is wonderful! I hope you create an scrapbook type of album that you can enjoy paging through for years to come.
There are really no adequate words that can describe how we feel about your sacrifice in traversing the country in the name of the need for affordable housing. We look forward to seeing the photos and reports upon reaching San Diego and later hearning of your safe return home! Thank you for making a difference with your time and talent!

Congratulations! I can't believe you're already in California. It feels like just a few weeks ago we were biking to Maple View. Your pictures are amazing!
