Rest in El Centro and on to Brawley

We took the day off Saturday so we would be near an LDS chapel for church.  There was a camp breakfast where we made some friends.  Then we walked around camp to the patio sales where we bought some hats.  The day was spent swimming, reading, and napping until the dinner and sweetheart dance.  We were surprised when the MC announced our bike ride to the group of about 80 people.  Everyone was so friendly and nice and we had such a good time dancing the swing, jitterbug, polka, and chicken dance that we forgot to blog.

Sunday was another beautiful day.  We rode into town to the LDS chapel for church.  We were surprised to see some people we knew from San Diego.  There was also a couple from Utah staying in our campground that invited us to lunch.

Then we went to the camp ice cream social.  As we packed up to leave, campers gathered to see how we were going to fit everything on the bike.  We met so many nice people at the camp.  We'll always have fond memories of the time we spent there - dancing, food, parties, swimming and a beautiful golf course.  It must be one of the friendliest camps in the country.

At 3 o'clock on Sunday we made the short ride to Brawley for a total of 21.8 miles.  Now we're settled in a motel, well rested, and ready for a long ride tomorrow. 

The truth from Ruth:
It's been a fabulous 2 days!  The wind picked up on Saturday and I thought our tent might blow over!  But it didn't. The noise did not even keep me awake.
