Because of extreme heat (118f briefly) I motelled it Started early today to miss the expected heat and at last got off the freeways and headed for the chiricahua mountains and a great ride over pinery canyon Rd to a small settlement of portal then a planned route across a large plain to hook up with the GDR at separ but a locked gate changed that so I took the long way round and headed for Silver city from separ Had to get into my wet weather gear and witnessed a great lightning show
Tomorrow has the longest stretch without fuel so need to carry an extra 5 lt
