After leaving out of Phoenix, nearing the Mexico border. Check out the intake tempature. It went as high as 49C (120F). I have usually found it to be off by about 3 degrees at highway speeds. I drank so much water it was insane. I felt full from water yet still never had to go to the washroom. And I was still wearing my full gear. But I did lose the safety vest to increase a little air flow.
It was somewhere around that point where I learned how easy it is on a straight road to zone out. I was riding along when i noticed a line of cars coming towards me. Then all of a sudden I noticed one of those cars was in my lane trying to pass a long line of vehicles! I hit the high beams and dove for the shoulder. The car swerved back and forth a second before cutting back into the line of traffic. This picture is right smack on the border with Mexico. I was tempted to go into Mexico but I decided not to bother due to insurance issues and such. There is always next time.
The Mountains heading into California. Strange how they look like massive piles of small boulders.
Found this big guy while visiting a friend in L.A. There were a good dozen of them.
