Here we are, leaving Ehrenberg, AZ. Us against the trucks.

The beautiful southwest, they aim to please
Most hotels and motels offer continental breakfast. This makes our mornings much easier and faster. We ate breakfast at 6 am and headed down the road. Today was the first day we had real heat, and it got to about 80 degrees or so. The route also consisted of 15 to 20 mile sections of straight road, with a slight climb. Highway 60 also offers minimal traffic and you can see it coming for miles and miles. Very few surprises. We arrived in the town of Hope, AZ, and as we were picking up lunch at a market, the only one on this part of Highway 60, my dad and Phyllis pulled up.

They have this knack for being right where we need them, making us feel pretty lucky. We hung out with them and ate, then saddled back up and pushed on for another 40 miles or so, into Wickenburg. Chris was feeling much better, with a tweak here or there. We both go into physical pain management mode as soon as we hit the motels.
We arrived into Wickenburg around 4:30 pm, even though it was suppose to be a shorter day. Even the short ones put up a fight. The hotel was a piece of work, a mom and pop arrangement that worked out just fine. Wish we had some interesting stories about the ride, but it was just a flat grind.
over and out
