Day 39 Tuesday February 19

Deck party



     25 degrees this morning at the Morena Lake County Park. This whole east San Diego county is a pretty hardscrapple place, you ask me. No breakfast then winding and winding through Cleveland National Forest and then bam Lake Otay Elite Athlete Training Center and the eastern suburbs of San Diego. Turned south into the Tijuana River Preserve and thence to the Border Fields Monument Park or whatever and it was the same strange non-place it was several years ago at the bitter end of the bike trip from SF except this time S and I tried to shortcut back to van and got lost in a tangle of sand roads and mud slicks all with the taint of sewage according to the signs. Down to the harbor on to the bikes and over to the aircraft carrier Midway with lunch at Busters between. 23$ each for the tour of the boat, but worth it when S and I were given instant titles, rank and jobs on the bridge and took brief command of all 70,000 tons. Workers were scurrying about preparing for a party of 800 that evening on the flight deck. Drove around briefly following carrier visit finally ending up at the crown plaza in some neighborhood called hotel circle. S and I spent a good bit of time washing the toxic mud from Border Field off of our shoes and clothes. Sticky.
