97xr400r 122 Posted March 21, 2019 With permits secured and ligit dirtbike knobbies mounted Kato and I trucked the bikes out to Yuma. Plan: Complet the U.S. portion of Camino Del Diablo then wander back to the truck somehow... The days were perfect and the nights were about 20 deg cooler than forecast. It was cold at night... frost on the tents. We took our time and stopped at interesting sights along the way. Smell the roses ya know... Ride checklist: 400 miles Portions of the AZ Peace Trail Historical trail Volcano field Flower blooms Border patrol Filtering water from a well Roosting wet sand Comically cliche campsite backdrops (cactus, owls hooting, coyotes howling, fires crackling, Rock formations, abandoned ranch) Campfires every night Puking Hammering down wet washes getting smacked in the face with branches Singletrack on hillsides night-time hill climbs makeshift fuel containers driving the abandoned vehicle photo op Beer by the river at sunset It was a Great ride Kato, thanks so much!
