Photos: The day our trailer broke (and was fixed)
On our second day in the El Malpais National Monument south of Grants, we stopped...
Loaded up and heading to Tucson
Gear loaded in the Uhaul and heading to Tucson. Will be adding photos and scintillating posts like “our monsoons are on crack,” “sheltering in place (read standing under tarp alongside road during lightening storm),” “quintessential second breakfast,” “the day our trailer broke” and more!
Keep on pedaling!
Great day of riding!
Whoot!
Pie Town to Datil via hwy 60 was a dream. Plus was eye to eye with a large cinnamon black bear (at 75 yards, me going 18mph) before it gallumphed across the field.

Chaco Canyon photos
Motorized transport to Chaco Canyon (20 miles of mother of all washboard roads to get in; better and longer to get out). Great drive on small paved roads to Silver City.
