Guero, I don't envy you. There is not way for you to run from your place to Flagstaff without being in the middle of the desert in the middle of they day... But it's a "dry heat"

I got some mountains along the way. Watch out for deer and elk though. My daughter came across a couple on a bike that hit a deer last night. They were okay considering. Don't know all the details yet.
560 miles going mostly through the hills all the way. Take longer than the beaten path, but that path has never been the one I take.............. Looking good!!
