Goofy Footer 539 Posted November 4, 2021 20 miles south of flagstaff and somehow I have service to post. The terrain and vegetation has definitely been a positive surprise. So far this is a fun route. Camping at 7100 feet, it’s going to be 30 degrees tonight No more saguaros here.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tntmo 887 Posted November 4, 2021 Just got a Spot message, flat tire near Cinders OHV by Flagstaff. Attempting repair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted November 5, 2021 I traded texts with him this morning. Sent him some more tracks. Cinders is close to residential so he should be fine. I suspect his has coverage in that area. But keep us posted if he sends you another Spot message, Tom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted November 5, 2021 He messed up the bead trying to change the tube. Got a ride into town and getting a new tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted November 5, 2021 Clearly he has not passed LB school of tube changes...🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goofy Footer 539 Posted November 5, 2021 Back on the road making up lost ground. It isn’t exactly warm in the high 30s at the moment but these elephant ears rock! Goofy Recommended 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goofy Footer 539 Posted November 6, 2021 1200 miles later and I’ve completed the AZBDR! It’s a nice route and different than the CABDR in April. When time permits I’ll write up a proper RR on this thread. Until then, it’s some 600 miles or so home.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
