I've stopped keeping track of the miles each day. So far, I've done about 3,100. The bike is doing great and the seat is still comfortable!
We started to head back early today (Sunday). We headed south through Tuscon, passing the impressive Picacho Peak just north of Tuscon. Being on a motorcycle makes taking photos as you drive impossible, otherwise I would have definitely taken a shot of this awesome rock formation.
I am heading back with "Doc" for at least one day. We visited Tombstone, AZ today because it is on our way and just south of Tuscon. I've included some pictures here. It was very interesting, and a number of the places (Big Nose Kate saloon and the Boot Hill welcome center) keep showing the Hollywood movie "Tombstone" on a loop.
I've also included a few shots from the ride from Tuscon to Las Cruces, NM. The road is very flat and we averaged about 80mph, but there are mountains all around. There are also a number of very big warning signs for blinding dust storms. Fortunately we did not experience any of these storm. We could see a number of rain storms moving across the land, but we avoided all the rain.
Tonight we are in Las Cruces, and my goal for tomorrow is Odessa, TX.

Bad Moon Rising
.
Rolling out of Tombstone
on a Full Moon Midnight Run
I gazed up at that full moon
Lighting my way, wondering
How that same moon,
gazes down,
on Military Mecca,
2,253 miles away.
