Well, tonight I am 78 miles closer to St. Augustine. Today was a relatively easy if long ride thru mountains and desert and then back into irrigated farm country in the Gila River Valley. We crossed an Apache Indian reserveration for some 40 miles. So sad! There was trash everywhere, mostly plastic bags and glass bottles, many smashed on the road shoulder, which forced me to ride on the road much of the time. It reminded me of Jordan, tho there was much less glass there.
We had snow topped mountains on the south for almost the entire day and can see Mt. Graham with its snowy summit from our motel. But Spring is definitely coming to southern Arizona--fields are being prepared for planting and trees are leafing out in that delicate green of spring. A good day! We cross into New Mexico tomorrow.
