Taking the Road Less Traveled

[photogrid ids=”794″ captions=”yes” columns=”two” fullwidth=”yes” ]Thursday 4/13 Decided to wait till 10:00 to check on Bill’s progress. I’m a short bike ride from the dealer. My tush is sore from from ride yesterday. Had a tiny bit of cramping yesterday evening. I know I didn’t do the best job hydrating. I made it to 8:30…

Wednesday 4/12 Broke down! Made it to the pavement and Bill stopped! Tow truck and everything. Hauled to Johnson Bros GMC Safford. Of course they are short handed to boot. Lots of conjecture on the problem. No fuel pressure. I hoped it would be simply but they never are. Took the bicycle and rode and…

Tuesday 4/11 My last round at Mt Graham. Haven’t been keeping score. Been using my Garmin and it’s a PITA to use the score part. I blistered the two fingers, I normally tape, in the first round. I’ve taped them since but they are still tender. I’m okay with my golf and will hunt a…

Monday 4/10 Bill was a good decision. There is something about upshifting on a steep climb that pleases me. XM radio,jury still out, I have listened to it half a dozen times. Having two rear doors to access equipment is a LOT easier on the back. Being able to accelerate with authority is a nice…

Sunday 4/9 See Saturday 4/8

Saturday 4/8 Settled into the Riverview campground. $2.50 per night. Picnic tables and fire ring. It’s about an hour drive to the course. Half a hour to hit the outskirts and half an hour to the course. It’s a beautiful drive. I’ve been chipping for awhile, putting for awhile, small bucket then walk 9. Most…

Friday 4/7 Very seldom do I leave something to mark my camp spot. I’ve learned to pack everything up, if you come back, fine. Headed to historical Safford downtown. Small city square. County seat also. Got a paper then the golf course for some chipping, putting and driving range. Busy for a Friday afternoon. left…

Thursday 4/6 Oh boy, Mr “Thinking I’m Doing Pretty Good” (had to stop typing and clean my keyboard, crimey sakes, looked liked I ate my dinner off it) didn’t get out of bed till 10:00 AM. Tired, sore but no cramps last night(must have been all the chips I ate). I got up, watched my…

Tuesday 4/4 Owl Creek was a nice quiet campsite and had a little bit of hiking. Left out early like 7:50 MST but Arizona doesn’t use daylight savings time but the Navajo Nation does. It gets confusing. Safford, AZ and the megalopollis reminds me of where I grew up. Same kind of valley surrounded by…

Wednesday 4/5 Not one car came up 366 from about 6 on. The noise of the creek made me sit inside for my hour of LOTR. Normally I sit on the back step…I’ll shoot a picture. It was cold so no dilly dally this morning. Coffee made, a short safety meeting and away I go…
