Arizona
Arizona- Volcanoes or Wind- you choose.
I chose both. The winds were howling as we left the Hampton Inn- thanks again Charlotte! We headed to the ride start after a huge breakfast of oatmeal and pastry and eggs. Thank you everyone at the Hampton Inn. Your place is awesome! I also owe a thank you to Dwayne at Ruby Tuesday’s for providing us with dinner the night we got into town. He provided these to us despite the gift card we had. Thanks. Finally on a food note- I want to thank Priya Davis at New Frontiers for helping out and providing a healthy lunch. You stuffed Butternut squash is unbelievable.
So onwards- I headed out for the ride- we had to pry oursleves away from the breakfast room and several people wished us luck on the journey. We said thank you and talked for a few minutes but needed to kep to our tight schedule. We get very busy in these next few days. Blogs may be shorter.
It was off to the ride start and for me to start the ride- through volcano fields in 20-30 mile per hour winds and for Scot to work on finding a hotel in Vegas. The ride went well and the hotel hunt went well. I even made it through the volcano field without any eruptions. It was cool to see all the lava theat flowed abot 1000 years ago. Arizona had a very active volcanic field from my understanding and brief discussion with a national parks employee.
It was an exciting ride and I would encourage anyone to try it if you want some nice scenery. Pick a shady day though. It looked like it would get hot if the sun was out. the road was freshly paved and the lava fields are all black. Made me think of Kona.
Onwards to Vegas and beyond.
