Looks like it went exactly as planned, except not the original plan.
Yout headline had me expecting a tale of floods, or hungry bears, so I was glad to see the warm glow of a lit tent under a starry sky.
Maybe next time, you'll plan a mtn bike trip, and switch to road at the last minute and be rewarded equally.

Just curious. Did you carry all your stuff in a backpack, or haul a trailer? (or some other way)

You should plan something ... and then do something completely different all the time. Looks like that method works very well for you!!

Here I was preparing to send some condolences after an accident or bike theft. Glad the unexpected turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Remember, a plan is just of list of things that never happen.

Nice photos, hadn't heard of AZT before. Did you use special tires etc to combat desert thorns?
