Finally I'm on the road again! Hey Rocky, do you see the Rock men climbing the big Rock mountain? :) |
I rode to Kingman first and Sherm and Craig joined for a ride to Chloride and breakfast at Yesterdays. |
We all have our individual preferences for breakfast. I decided to try their famous BELT sandwich. (bacon, eggs, lettuce, tomatoes) |
Long ride ahead so elected to make a short visit. That sign ain't true if you have a bidet! |
Sherm in front of his Rebel, Craig behind his wing. |
Sherm picked up (literally) a nice gift for Pat. |
I stopped to top off with fuel at only 33.9 cents per gallon, but alas the train beat me to it and blocked my access. |
Beautiful new fish hatchery at Lake Mead, but no water to be able to use it. Huh? |
Virgin tanks waiting for water from the Virgin River. |
Some of the native fish in the reservoir |
Some of the non native fish they plan to raise in the hatchery. This is the girl that was my source of information. |
I also got a little info from this sign too! |
Just from looking at it, I'm guessing that Lake Mead is at less than 30% of it's volumetric capacity. |
At least it doesn't look so sorry with my bike in the pic. |
RV's are parked where there should be water, and grass growing in a field where little fish should be hatching. |
As I was riding along and thinking how messed up our world is today, the beauty that God still keeps in front of us comforts my soul! |
Not sure why, but a sign......... |
........says this area is called........ |
............Red.......... |
..........Rocks |
I came around a corner and this two horses were in the middle of the road. I felt sorry for them as this one was trying to graze but wasn't fining much in the 110 degree heat. |
And I was feeling sorry for myself because it was so hot out, but I had forty ounces of water. |
I was excited to see that Rogers Spring was still sprung! |
I made it to Overton and the inside scoop. A small bowl of pistachio almond ice cream never tasted so good. |
It was hot, I was tired but still proud that I made a little over 400 miles today in this heat! Tomorrow will be a cake walk, supposed to only be a high of 95 degrees at my destination! |
Man 117 I am sweating just thinking about it. But that's a dry heat unlike here in FL where you are drenched walking out with high humidity. Nice pics-looking forward to the rest of the story as it unfolds. aka "Kenichi" from thegl forum & gl1800riders Stay safe out yonder! BTW where are you headed to?
