For those of you interested, the Pink Towel Match was decided on the 17th hole yesterday.\u00a0 I lost three and one.\u00a0 We both had a good front nine but I folded like a cheap suit on the back.\u00a0 On the positive side, dad was so thrilled that he didn’t have the towel – he bought the drinks!!\u00a0 Guess I’ll have to give it another shot in Canada at Seven Hills.\u00a0 It’s a nine hole goat pasture but it’s the only course within a couple hundred miles.<\/p>\n

This morning I’m getting ready to pull out & head for Silver City, New Mexico.\u00a0 Think I’ll try out my new tent at their KOA.\u00a0 Of course that’s all subject to change after I get on the road, but you have to have a Plan A and that’s mine.\u00a0 Don’t know what kind of Internet access they will have there but if I can get on, I’ll post again this evening.\u00a0 Until then…..
________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

Today I started out with a fairly short ride planned but as most of you know, that isn’t what happened.\u00a0 Couple answers for your comments.\u00a0 The Pink Towel is being shipped back to CA in a box with my dirty golf clothes.\u00a0 That thing doesn’t see the light of day until it’s match time.\u00a0 Kentucky – might be on the list, I’ll take a look.<\/p>\n

Okay – it was HOT for part of the day – ESPECIALLY through the San Carlos Indian Reservation.\u00a0 WOW, that wasn’t fun – about the time I got to Safford the smoke from one of the Arizona fires was actually defusing (photography term, sorry) the sun quite nicely.\u00a0 I’d say it cut the temp at least 10 degrees.\u00a0 As I got closer and closer to Silver Creek the smoke got worse and worse – to the point that there were no shadows on the ground.\u00a0 I was thinking I might have to press on because Silver Creek would be a smoke out.\u00a0 But the smoke cleared about 10 miles from town – I just wasn’t ready to get off the bike that early.\u00a0 I was a little concerned about fuel while I was traveling along the Mexico border (fuel gauge doesn’t work) but I had plenty.\u00a0 I will tell you though – that is one desolate piece of asphalt.\u00a0 The only<\/u> people on that road besides me were Border Patrol & Law Enforcement.<\/p>\n

So – tonight I’m in a Wyndham hotel here in El Paso, TX.\u00a0 I had Robin call ahead because I was running so late and she got me a suite with a sliding glass door that exits to the parking lot.\u00a0 My bike is parked right outside my door.\u00a0 The best of all possible worlds.\u00a0 I did take some pictures today and will hopefully have time to post them in the morning before I leave.\u00a0 Just look for a pictures tab on the top of the blog and check them out.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will be staying with a long time (notice I didn’t say OLD Murry) friend in Del Rio.\u00a0 The link for the tracking should still work for you if you’re so inclined. <\/p>\n
