Our ride today was 78 miles and for about 18 of those miles everything came together to give us a nice ride. The temperature was comfortable, the road was smooth, the traffic was light, the shoulder was generous and the Sonoran Desert was reasonably scenic. Once those miles were over, the elements began to fall away to make for a sixty mile ride that had no redeeming features. Bad, bad roads, feed lots, high traffic, no scenery, heat, dust and etc. I foolishly remarked to John that they only thing to make it worse would be a flat tire and guess what? Before too long I had one! The idea of changing the tire beside a dirty busy highway was unappealing but we did it and afterwards realized that changing the tire was as good as a rest. I didn't take a single picture all day so the one above is of our cook "Krash". Scary looking at first but a really sweet guy and a good cook. Our campground was the usual dusty desert R.V. centric hell hole but the desert evenings are very pleasant and we had a comfortable evening chatting under our pavilion with "adult beverages". Thanks Paul and Marsha Trowbridge for the visit and for the goodies. Much appreciated.
I hope that your 'adult beverages' have improved and are making the less than wonderful sounding scenery bearable.
