(*truth be told, I took this pic in NJ while I was out for my final ride before the trip - it was TOO Good to pass up, so I had to pull out the camera)
----------------------------------
But seriously, I left Alb. NM ~3:30 pm (on Mother's day) and my sister's kids helped see me off!:
I made my way to rt. 40 and just headed west. It was HOT, DRY and WINDY!!!:
I soon found myself at the cont. divide:
Today was an "easy day" (only ~3hrs of riding) - this was the plan, as I wanted to get to the Grand. Can. tomorrow (doing Alb., NM to Grand Can. in 1 day was a little MORE than I had wanted). I spent the night at a KOA in Gallup, NM (used a cabin, rather then tent camping for a few reasons, but mainly the cabin had AC!!! and there were NO TREES to shade a tent!):
Bill,
ReplyDeleteglad to see your bike arrived on time and you're off & riding! Enjoy! Dave.
