Arrival in the Valley of the Sun?




Today was to be a liesurely 415 mile day. So I got up at 6am, had breakfast at the motel and was on the road before 8am. It was hot but was going according to plan until Flagstaff,AZ. Then the thunderclouds appeared. About 10 miles South they found me. I stopped and put on my hvy gear and within 10 min was out of the storm. 40 miles later, burning up, I stopped and put on the light gear. Guess what??? You got it, another storm got me and it felt like freezing rain but I just kept riding and was out of it 10-15 min. This happened twice more before I reached Phoenix. Once I got there I met up with Brian and did the walk thru on the house, a tree has fallen down since looking at it but such is life. I go in at 9am tommorow to sign the final papers so by noon I should be ahomeowner again. For good or bad. :)
That isn't a bush behind the m/c that is the tree on its side.

Oh, my ongoing motel story. I found a very nice comfort inn at a good price. It looked to me from the coupon map to be 20 miles from Buckeye....nope, it was 50 miles so I rode another 100 miles to do the walkthru and return. Total for the day over 514 miles.
