A Long Ride

Elena has been taking photos from the back seat for the last day and a half, and a lot of her shots really capture what it feels like to be riding. That's Pete up ahead.


We were up over 9000 feet elevation going over some of the mountain passes. This is near the top of Coronado Trail on State Road 180. It was such a cool relief from the scorching heat below.



There's a meadow behind the hotel in Springerville, Arizona with cows and a few horses. This must be the world's most laid-back horse. He got a good rubdown and muzzle-scratching from all of us, and I'm going to see if I can find a few carrots or apples for him this morning.
