An early morning departure with my bike, chainsaw and stuff. 27 hours of driving…yeehaw:). My bike, I’m thinking of leaving it in Ohio and buying a new one for AZ. I’ve had two Treks, a Lamond, a Bianchi and this one. It’s been the best by far and I hate to leave it in OH but maybe.
AZ was forecast to receive an above normal amount of monsoon rain but the rain consistently stayed east, plenty of evidence as I drove through NM.
Pausing at a rest stop outside Las Cruces.
The morning of my second day of driving provided one of the best…..
….sunrises I’ve witnessed and the beauty lasted a long time. I stopped just west of St. Louis.
I find the drive through St. Louis rather onerous with so many exits, traffic, circuitous routing through the city and really hard to get a good pic of the arch.
At last, arriving in Ohio with my first stop….
…the woods where I planted 400 red oaks. Definitely one of my happy places. The weather forecast had been good but then it wasn’t, lol.
