Wednesday started started out just great.

Fr. Balduck brought down warm buttered toast and cheese for breakfast. He then said Mass in the church and away I went refreshed all the way.

Riding along across the desert for the next 1.5 miles.

Yep I was at the San Pedro river for the night.

The next 12 miles were all up hill to get out of the San Pedro river valley. (little note the San Pedro River originates in Senora, Mexico and runs North across the border up to near Tucson, and I thought everything ran down the side of the globe.)

Camera operator malfunction missed a number of good pictures

About 1:00PM  as I am nearing Oracal, AZ, Helena called and said she was off work and driving up from Tucson to pick me up, so I won’t be late.

Funny how folks were really know well  can all of sudden turn into and angel at just the right moment to make life a little better.

Needless to say I was very glad and besides the last 30miles was all down hill anyway.
