Day 159
I awoke before dawn. A train was going by! I climbed up to the road above and took in my surroundings:

I was officially off the interstate! Marsh Station Road led all the way into Vail, AZ. No more miles on I-10 for the rest of the journey!

I repacked the buggy and walked a service road along the train tracks.

I stumbled into a R&R employee. I told him I got caught up in the storm, and was trying to find access to Marsh Station Rd. He pointed me in the right direction.

I joined the road. It misted. It was an adventure!:

Just before 12 noon, I made it to Vail! I hit a gas station and bought a couple slices of pizza. I also got an ice cream at DQ!

 I set up my hammock beneath a decently shaded tree for a siesta.

Time passed. A man named Israel came by and gave me a plate of chicken!
At quarter to 3 p.m, I bought a coconut water at a gas station and downed it. I rehydrated and hit the road.

Down through Vail, and northwest through the suburbs.

I reached Tucson city limits!

It felt so good to have made it to Tucson! I kept moving through the desert and on sidewalk (sometimes):

The sun set. It was beautiful all around:

At dark, I found myself by an airport just 10 miles south of downtown. I found a great place to set up my hammock along a wall bordering a property.

Unfortunately, a man came around flashing his flashlight. I got the message and broke camp. I kept moving.

I found some great open desert. I set up my hammock beneath a lone tree. I fell asleep listening to coyotes. Tucson!
