Earthwalk Day 1294 (8 August 2025), 12,868 km

The American Travelling Morrice ended on Sunday and, as predicted, my walking distance was relatively paltry during the preceding week. My bicycling distance was nil. So July was not a great month from that point of view. And this week, besides my needing to recover from a week of dancing, we had rain on Wednesday, so August isn’t off to a great start either. But I did get a 42.5 km ride in today.

Which puts me… amid not much. The map says I’m in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which seems to be Californian for “not much”, except there’s a lot of not much: It’s the largest state park in California. I’m heading approximately east, toward the southern end of the Salton Sea. Mexico’s just 60 km south of me but I’m not going that way.

A map showing my progress is here, a spreadsheet with progress detail is here, and a Google Earth KMZ file is in this Google Drive folder. Present coordinates: 33.135°N, 116.349°W.
