Greetings from the high desert of New Mexico!
Today we made it to Gallup, which is close to the Arizona border, giving us a short ride in the morning to Phoenix.
For some ungodly reason we are leaving at 0500 in the morning, so we need to get up at 0300.
Thus, my contribution tonight will be very short.
The ride today was great and the weather was mostly magnificent. There were a few showers and lightning, but the really cool thing about the desert and all this open country is that you can see forever. Each storm is like its own cloud formation, with rain pouring down and lightning. You can see it moving across the land a long way off. We mostly did not get too wet and we avoided the lightning all together, but just seeing the storms in the setting of this vast expanse was both beautiful and unsettling. It was only unsettling because you really realize how small you are, and how powerful the storms are. You can see them pounding some mountain or small town while you ride in the sunshine.
There are no formal American Legion functions tonight because of the early start, so there are no check presentations. I've heard that the amount is now almost to $230k.
Good night from New Mexico!
Mike

Ballad Of Easy Rider Lyrics
The river flows
It flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes
That's where I want to be
Flow river flow
Let your waters wash down
Take me from this road
To some other town
