Day 28 Kingman, AZ to Needles, CA 71.1 miles

Cycled up over the Sitgreaves Pass to reach Needles, California. Hard climbing but worth it, the view from the top was amazing. Passed through Oatman, an old frontier town halfway down the mountains. They have a wild donkey infestation at the moment; the summer drought has killed off all the plants in the mountains and they've come further down looking for food.

Crossed over the Colorado River and entered Needles, CA. Being directly South of Death Valley and on the river, it makes it the hottest and most humid place in California. There's palm trees everywhere.
