I CHEATED///IN SCOTTSDALE






















FROM TOP TO BOTTOM//LEFT TO RIGHT a nice horse ranch////the artillery mtns//a lone PALM in front of the aguila mtns//
THEN THE DISGUSTING ROADSIDE SITE OF TRASH AND I PASSED A LOT OF IT//what possesses some folks//then the aguila sign and then late yesterday Wickenburg//
I left Wenden early 1 to 2 % uphill 35 miles to Aguila//spent the night camped out in my little tent, left at daylight and 33 miles 26 uphill 4 to 5% and got to wickenburg late in the afternoon//
Started raining last nite and i woke up sort of wet///my little coffin tent not only WAS small it leaked so it is history//post pic of new one soon//
A friend of Rose and mine came by to help me and i called donna on the phone, and just took the ride early as i was not due in till wenesday//but i am here sore-wet-tired with all kind of complaints about the gear i chose//
It will all get worked out while i am here hopefully doing enough readings to afford the tuscon leg//no problem really but after tuscon the next leg is houston//absolutely nothing in between hopefully i can do a 100 miles a day by then and make it quick//or maybe i can cheat again and get a ride thru the desolate west texas part...
All is well new tent and sleeping bag//the down one was ruined in the rain//NO MORE DOWN
POST AGAIN SOON STILL LOTS OF PICS//AND SOME PHILOSOPHY
blessed be

Take advantage of the rides you come accross while this weather is with us. Glad to hear you got rid of that stupid little tent. Give us some specifics on your list of complaints.
