Another 80 mile day. Didn't really have the climbs, but did we ever have the views. Did finally leave my off and on friend, US 60 and said hello to US 70. I mentioned earlier as to some connections for US 70 and my life, also should mention that 70 was our main route to visit family in TN for years before I40 and 70 was the main road in my Mom's hometown of Huntington, TN. It didn't disappoint.
This is how I choose to describe today's today's ride: it was like being in an airplane at ground level.
Explanation. When you are in an airplane, you obviously are privileged to panoramic scenes, able to see across vast lands and vistas. That was today's ride. We weren't in high mountains looking down, as noted, there weren't many climbs. This territory is simple immense. And beautiful.
Today also presented the continuation of a new threat, the Creeping Crud. One of our riders got sick coming into Tempe. Two more came down with it today. Very intense intestinal sickness. As slow as I ride, something creeping seems more likely to catch me than others, but not yet. My sinus infection will be hopefully my assigned ailment for the ride.
Several interesting people and places along the way. Pictures.
Crossing Apache Reservation. Two incredibly precious girls, Chloe and Callitha.
Ft Davis, the birthplace of the founder of the Lion's Club, an organization that I have been a member of for 40+ years.

A beautiful day.
