Today we made it to a national guard armory in Yuma, AZ. We passed through a large section of sand dunes near Glamis Sand Dunes en route to the Official Center of the World. Created by a Frenchman, Jaques-Andre Istel who grew up in America and revolutionized parachute design, it is a bizarre account of world history that places great emphasis on the French Foreign Legion, parachute designers, and French aviation pioneers.
We spent the last 8 miles on the wheel of Ron and Nancy Reagan who towed us through heavy, Yuma traffic. Time to rest, 70 miles tomorrow to Dateline, AZ. Home of the date shake.
