the edge is a couple of inch of asphalt with the dirt next to it washed away.
If you ride the dirt for four or five yards it gets better.

and I rode on it farther than you will.

One of the drivers was really nice, stopping to light up my flat repair with
the headlights of their car.  Then offered me power bars and water!

If you have a cell phone, you might as well leave it at home.

  The fortune cookie says:
Nature to all things fixed the limits fit,
And wisely curbed proud man's pretending wit.
As on the land while here the ocean gains,
In other parts it leaves wide sandy plains;
Thus in the soul while memory prevails,
The solid power of understanding fails;
Where beams of warm imagination play,
The memory's soft figures melt away.
