I packed my bike and left the doctoral residency with sweat dripping off my face and my lungs burning Let me explain. For the past two weeks, I have developed a cough that just won't quit. I have taken cough medicine, cold medicine and eaten enough cough drops to last a lifetime. Hopefully the cough will go away soon.
The original plan was to drive from Phoenix to the Mexican border today (Friday), but plans have changed. Because of my cold and the heat, not too mention the trouble at the border, we are bypassing this section of the original route and creating our own. The new plan is to leave Globe, AZ early in the morning and head due east into New Mexico. Once we cross the border, we are going to pick up some dirt roads and begin working our way to the Continental Divide route.
This new plan guarantees us more dirt anyway. The original route is mostly pavement for the first hundred miles, and our new route is mostly dirt. This should improve the fun factor. The ultimate goal tomorrow is to reach the infamous Pie Town Cafe and the delicious pie that awaits the weary traveler.
Starting tomorrow, I will try to post pictures and videos as they are taken. Don't forget to follow the SPOT link in one of the June posts to see where we are and where we have been.
