| 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?
