Started a little later than normal this morning but that was by design.  Had a nice breakfast and visit with Mom & Dad before heading out.  First stop was at Circle K to fill up the gas tank and load my new ice chest for the first time.

Last night while watching the Diamond Backs beat the Yankies, I saw a commercial for Culver’s and immediately went to the computer to see where along my route I could get one of their Colby Jack Pub Burgers.   I was in Mesa, standing at the door waiting for them to open at 10:30 for “second breakfast.”

From there I headed  up to Globe and after a couple stops for things that I needed for the camping portion of the trip, I was on the road for Silver City, New Mexico.  Much of the ride was “at altitude” and my sea level tuned bike is complaining about the lack of air up here.  She’s still getting the job done but you really have to put the spurs to her once in a while.

Camping at the KOA here in Silver City.  When I checked in they said it was going to be freezing tonight & they offered me a special deal on one of the Kozy Kabins so I took it; the heater alone will be worth it.  Tomorrow – somewhere in Texas.
