DAY 1 Phoenix to Pahrump

Well it's finally started day one of the tenth long spring ride. As usual a little apprehensive until we actually get on the road then just a few miles later it all starts to feel right.

Checked this morning to make sure we all remembered passports since we are headed up the country.

Riding north on I-17 for the 1,000,000 time to Prescott for breakfast and everything looked a little different today. When you know it will be three weeks and thousands of miles before you get back everything is suddenly better looking and fresh.

I'm going up the country
Babe, don't you wanna go?
Babe, don't you wanna go?
I'm going to some place
Where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going
Where the water tastes like wine
I'm going

I'm going up the country

Where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water
Stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city
Got to get away
All this fussing and fighting
Man, you know I sure can't stay

CANNED HEAT

Heading north into Cali tomorrow via Death Valley then turning north towards our northern goal of western Canada.
