Yup. And the red hat too! It set me back though. I think I really am going to apply for that job as a Wordle bot.
10 months agoIt really was. It was so surprising to find it right beside the road. It’s a wonder no one’s come out and vandalized it.
Hey, are you going to be coming over to Tucson?
Wow! What a special find.
10 months agoYep, I concur Bill! It's blooming all over Mesa now.
10 months agoSuch a shame - but I’m glad to see that the Pendleton shirt survived.
10 months agoAwww - that sucks!! I'm so sorry! It's happened to us a few times and I don't wish it on anyone. Bon Courage!
10 months agoDear Scott, dear Rachael
By pure chance I came across your journal. This afternoon I followed you through Spain, Italy and even through the Death Valley. I really enjoyed reading your travel stories and the fotos are just awsome. Most of the sites I know from our own bicycle journeys. We travel with a RANS-Tandem, with HP-Trikes or with velomobile. You can find our travel-reports under "armin.zcag.ch". Looking forward to reading more from you.
P.S. Next Fall we will take our RANS Screamer from SF to LA.
Greetings from Switzerland
Armin and Karin
Impressive elevation gain. 👏🏽
11 months agoBummer about the suitcase.
In a few days, after you replace immediate necessities, you will likely forget all about it with all the great Tucson winter weather and Sonoran Desert scenery, not to mention the special local eats and birds and all the rest.
Sorry that happened to you. I guess we have to be extra careful in Tucson. I had my rental bike stolen when I was there last month. Thieves cut right through the cable, so I didn’t have a bike to ride for the last two weeks of my holiday. It can happen anywhere, I guess.
11 months agoYup. Could be today! Were heading out Julian Wash as soon as we get the prescription refill ball rolling.
11 months agoThat is not a good welcome to Tucson! Things need to look up from here.
Can't wait to cross paths with you on the loop. I'm sure it will happen often.
According to the references I’ve seen anyway - completed two years early and under budget at $49 million (roughly $800 million in today’s dollars). It was the largest project in US history up at that time, maybe the first mega project. The facts about it are really staggering, including the one that there’s enough concrete in it to lay a road from LA to NYC.
11 months agoIf I'd known you were going through Wickenburg, I would have asked you to see if the town still had those bolts sticking out of its street light poles. That's what gives me the willies even more than the gruesome wound.

Thanks, Rich. I’m lucky it wasn’t worse. Some of my stupidities have been much more painful than this one.
