Saw a hand-painted sign offering ESTEREO REPAIR. That just perpetuates estereotypes.

This guy is a virtuoso in his chosen medium

This was a really interesting bike facility. Mesa has a bike lane that runs E-W for a very long way (which I rode), and they’ve installed one of these every couple miles so people can stop and get shade, a valuable commodity around here. Some also had water, I think.

I’ve been riding for 34 miles today and I’m still not out of the greater Phoenix area.

I love the crazy-high street numbers in Arizona.

I started seeing saguaro about 10 miles into Arizona, followed by cholla.

In addition to an airplane on top of a vintage car hauler, some interesting cars from the 40s—60s, this place also had a half-track.

Saw this sign at the B&B Bait Shop as I was leaving. Of course I had slept out in the open near foodstuffs. Obviously nothing and happened.

In Phoenix. 110 miles today. Need to connect with my old friend Carlos.
