ROUTE 66 SATURDAY APRIL 26TH

Woke up and as usual turned on the weather channel which said the outside temperature was 21 degrees. I figured that this must be incorrect so switched to a local station and found it was really 17 out. This delayed starting out until it was at least just freezing.

Entered Az and it felt like home. Rode 66 through Winslow stopped at Standin On The Corner Park and took the usual tourist pics.

Road some of old 66 in Flagstaff and on into Wiliams and Ashfork. Had to skip the Seligman area and Oatman due to the Laughlin River Run filling the area with bikes. All the motels where full or over priced so drove on to Barstow making it a 550 mile day. We will go back and ride the western Arizona portion of 66 before heading home.

You sounded very tired tonight.I am reminded of the quote used for your retirement... Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy shit...what a ride!" Wishing you many more rides before you are worn out. Love you, xoxo
