Where We’ve Been
We are back to the home of the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake and the Peach Faced Love Birds.

I guess I was riding too aggressively and went over the bumps and sailed over the handle bars into the cactus and landed (actually skidded) onto my shoulder and ribs.

Sometimes we stop and spend a few nights or a week and sometimes we just drive through. Beautiful scenery and no traffic! And then we continued on over the …
