Scenic day navigating around Silverwood Lake, a pretty good sized lake smack in the middle of the desert and mountains. It was interesting seeing so much water\u2026it is not a luxury we have often out here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I got a tick bite today\u2026looked like a deer tick. I\u2019m not sure if Lymes is common in this area. I pulled the little fucker out with tweezers. The bite was tender earlier but it isn\u2019t swollen, just irritated where he got me. I\u2019m going to see how it looks tomorrow and determine if I should see a doctor. He wasn\u2019t there for long and he wasn\u2019t engorged- which is when transmission occurs. Infection is indicated by a bulls eye formation where the bite happened on the skin. He got me on my left thigh. Right now it just looks like a large mosquito bite. I\u2019ll monitor it for a few days until I reach Wrightwood and make a final decision then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I hate ticks. Nasty buggers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tomorrow morning we pass under Interstate 15. There is a McDonalds there, and eating lots of food there is the thing to do. I\u2019ve been looking forward to this for a few days now and I\u2019m a little embarrassed about how excited I am!<\/p>\n
