North America » United States » Arkansas » Clarksville October 5th 2012

Day 30 We got a pretty early start today – we left at 7:30, a little after sunrise. There were clouds in the east, but the rest of the sky was clear. It was very cold, probably the coldest day yet. As we rode toward the east the sun became obscured by clouds, which was good, because we were riding directly into the sun and it was difficult to see. For the first hour the ride was good, there were only a few trucks. After about an hour of riding we encountered wind, it wasn’t as bad as the wind in South Dakota, but still enough to make riding miserable. After an hour of riding in the wind we had to stop because the wind wears you out, so we stopped for gas and coffee. We ... read more

North America » United States » Arizona » Flagstaff October 1st 2012

Bill and Rick rode directly from Henderson to Flagstaff because they planned on seeing the Grand Canyon the next day while I got my oil changed. I stopped at the Grand Canyon on my way to Flagstaff to get a stamp, coffee cup, and postcards. And take a couple of pictures. I ended up staying several hours and took hundreds of pictures. I was fortunate to be there while the sun set; it was one of the the most spectacular experiences I have ever had. I will try to describe it better when I write my blog, hopefully today after I get an oil change. Another 12 hour day - over 300 miles. https://picasaweb.google.com/103671248113620284938/Day26?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCJi1lZ2xsN2LrwE&feat=directlink... read more
