Rick and I just finished our 50 mile ride.  I'm definitely delirious.  We're driving the RV, and Jack and Jim I are taking on another 37 miles.  Instead of Morristown, we're going to be staying in Wickenburg tonight.

Uh let me tell you, we definitely rode through some of the most desolate places today. On Highway 60 we passed five markets.  Four of them were shut down and out of business.  Only one in 50 miles was open.  We asked the lady who worked there how many people lived in this city.  Her response... well, I wouldn't really call it a city.  This trip is definitely an eye-opener.
