1984 Bike Tour: Day 66 - Strange lights in the desert

ANZA-BORREGO STATE PARK, CALIFORNIA -- Too much heat? Not enough water? Too much pedaling through the desert? Too close to the end of the trip? I can't explain it, but I isolated myself from the group today and rode up to a solitary campground in the desert.
Expecting another hot day, we set the alarm for 4:30 but didn't really get going for hours. We all stopped for pictures at the Arizona-California border then cycled on Interstate 8 near the Mexican border through an area aptly named the Imperial Sand Dunes.

I find myself not bothering with the brakes, but just relying on this coaster system. (Note it is not the same as a fixed gear system. You can freewheel) However, although it is fun to use coaster brakes in normal circumstances, when you have considerable speed downhill, you do wish you [...]
