The best earth to show !!!! ....

I made it up to Phoenix yesterday after 930 Km riding; I targeted Flagstag originally but the weather was nice and I felt fine to keep going.. A friend from there offered me his house but I was not sure to get there and I end up in a hotel (thanks again John and keep the Starduster ready to pick me up just in case). After having dinner and download the pictures and stuff, I couldn't stay awake..Just to give you a flavor of the routine, I wake up usually at 5 45 to do preparation for the day of riding and drink some mate, after a short run (I need the energy to ride) I have breakfast and after loading the bike I hit the road at 8:00 am.

 

 


 

The ride through Nevada is amazing, is a desert view but beautifull

I did not went all the way from highway 15 to Las Vegas but instead took the 89 to cut directly to Flagstag. The scenery and roads are magnificent but the heat was incredible, twisted roads like teh ones in California but rockie scenery. It's really unbelievable the development done in the middle of the desert in places like Zion or Kanab

I suggest checking the pics in the sectinons USA and Nvada/Arizona as there are some that will give you a clear idea about the area.

 I crossed the Navajo's land, the natives sells craftsmanship around the Glen Canyon, which I recommend to visit, and leave in scattered groups all over the place in a not very friendly place....I see no one three.... I wander why they were there originally .

 

 

Thanks for following and please invite friends to cooperate with the fund raise !!!!!!

 The best advice for an obsessive rider 

 

 ".....Do not use any maps.......do not plan.......the only important thing is to travel light, then, just ride, ride down south, Argentina is at the end of the continent, there is no way you'll miss it....."
