Day 5

Yuma to Dateland via the Salad Bowl of America 70 miles. 

 Our route took us through Dome Valley, home to acres and acres of vegetables. Workers were picking romaine lettuce and cauliflower, boxes and boxes of it.  

Trucks loaded with vegetables constantly passed us. We rode parrallel to train tracks, and it was incredible the number of trains sped by. It's such a different economy out here than in Huntsville.

If you ever go to Dateland, stop and get a Date Shake.

Tomorrow Gila Bend, AZ.
