Today I rode through the heart of Apache country in the Gila Mountains. We spent Friday night just west of Globe, AZ. and had a nice dinner at a nice Indian casino for Vargie's birthday. The first 3 or 4 miles were pretty good & then came the headwinds!!!!!! I have never dad to ride so long consistently into the teeth of the wind as I have today. The weather was good aside from the wind and we are staying in a little community called Safford, AZ tonight. There wasn't much to take pictures of ,as even the cactus were dying do to lack of water. It was an awful day for road kill. I pass 4 dead dogs, one fox, on coyote, and something that looked like a wolverine. I didn't think Arizona had any but it susre resembled one. More mountains tomorrow and a pass of just under 6,300 ft to go over. So I'll keep this short. Finding a lot of joy with replies to the blog. Would appreciate an update on the C.M.N. pledges. Only 2 flat tires so far- one in San Diego and one today about 12 miles west of Safford. Headwinds and a flat, how can you beat that. Hope the weather in the flathead is finally improving And all of you are happy and well.
