Day 2…another LONG day of driving. It didn’t help that I had a tough time sleeping… I woke up early, made myself a cup of coffee, and started driving. Once I got to Blythe, I pulled over, got gas, and made breakfast.
On my way to Catalina State Park, I visited Biosphere 2. What an engineering wonder! Although the history of Biosphere 2 is a bit muddled, its current environmental lab the facility provides many opportunities for study and research.
