The horror . . . the horror<\/p>\n Another Dr Stan\u2019s tube bites the dust.<\/p>\n This was a cook breakfast place we saw on the way out of town with palm trees growing right through two vents in the roof!<\/p>\n We crossed into Arizona today . . .<\/p>\n but had to roll on about 5 miles before we saw their state welcome sign . . . there sign doesn\u2019t say, \u2018open for business\u2019 like our state.<\/p>\n WI is thinking of allowing companies to \u2018sponsor\u2019 our state parks in the upcoming biennial budget. Looks like AZ already allows this . . .<\/p>\n . . . but it must not work out all the time!!!<\/p>\n Must have been some kind of party!!!<\/p>\n Today was a BIG day of headwinds AND interstate riding AND a gradual uphill climbing averaging 1.5 % ALL DAY!!!! Grueling, but we finally did get off the interstate and onto some nice riding roads.<\/p>\n Entering AZ, we also evidently entered RV land . . . they are everywhere! So many in fact, they need to have \u2018specialists\u2019 involved in caring for them!!! Crummy job but I guess someone has to do it.<\/p>\n We stumbled upon this used car lot that sold literally anything that moved and had an engine of some type. Most of them restored . . .<\/p>\n Including this beauty . . .<\/p>\n . . . you can pick up for a song!!<\/p>\n Some of his other inventory. Don\u2019t need to worry about rust here!<\/p>\n Here is the owner, Billy, presenting Gina and Linda with two grapefruit he cut right off the tree for them (we all got one).<\/p>\n Lots of RV parks around the city of Quartzite. This is an example of how many of them look. Most all had an American flag flying from a high mast. We had lunch in Quartzite and the girls decided to go shopping so I headed for Salome, our home for the night<\/p>\n We were definitely entering cactus country. Very Nice!<\/p>\n After a twenty mile grind into the wind and up hill I passed through Hope. Really just a spot in the road\u00a0 . . .<\/p>\n . . . but with a great exit sign!<\/p>\n One last pass to climb and we headed towards Salome . . . here was a GREAT iron worker. . .<\/p>\n . . . lots of inventory . . .<\/p>\n With these three beauties too. I\u2019m thinking of you Smoochie . . . one,<\/p>\n two,<\/p>\n three. Keep your eye open for a UPS delivery!!!<\/p>\n We pulled into the Westward Motel a very unique place to stay for the night. Wish we had more time here!<\/p>\n The courtyard . . .<\/p>\n full kitchen for our use . . .<\/p>\n nice room . . .<\/p>\n and a very nice collection of \u2018stuff\u2019 he has collected and decorated.<\/p>\n Randy joined us for beer in the backyard.<\/p>\n QUOTE OF THE DAY: We went to the only cafe in town for a fish dinner and were discussing our motel bill and whether we had enough cash (no credit cards accepted.) Gina said, ” . . . \u00a0not to worry because the girls could ‘put out’ !!!!<\/p>\n Big day tomorrow 80 miles, 40 of which will probably be into another headwind, and then 40 miles down to Surprise, AZ . Yippee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We started out the day with a BANG . . . literally as Dan was pumping up his tire and it went of like a bomb!
