Tucson to Bullhead City, Arizona

We are back at the Holiday Inn Express.  It's still a nice hotel.  The drive today sort of sucked.  Phoenix traffic was bad, there was one longish hold up due to a gaper's block.  A semi departed the roadway, leaving a fair amount of tread on the road.  After Phoenix there is AZ60, the road surface there is deteriorating. and then US93, which is also bad until you hit I40.  We are going to consider yet another route.  You can read more about Bullhead City here.

I went to the dollar store we stopped at on the way down to Tucson last year, to buy socks.  Three pairs for $4.  Not too bad.  They're not as padded as the Wright socks I've been wearing, but they have a better seam across the toe.  Less intrusive.  It's the little things.

Here we have a deer in the neighbor's front yard.  These are very relaxed deer. 

We saw these two people somewhere.  It's interesting that they're both towing, and with two bicycles.

This is the road into Bullhead City.  Note the warning about the possibility of a dead stop at the bottom.  It's a 12 mile 6% descent.  When we had the RV it used to scare the snot out of me.   This not because Jim was a bad driver, but the RV weighed 35,000 pounds with the weight of the truck we were towing pushing us down hill.  One can't use the foot pedal brakes, it's all engine braking.  When you're the passenger, you're powerless.

More scenic beauty.

Things in the administration continue to go to hell in a hand basket.  I'm just going to leave that there.
