Today was another long day, though not as bad as yesterday. The first part was really nice, rolling terrain mostly along Lake Roosevelt. The lake had lots of RV sites and lots of boat activity. Then came the long climb out of Tonto Basin. It was 5 miles of 7% grade. What a pain! Then more rolling until we got to Globe. We had a nasty climb out of Globe on a major highway. It was not fun at all! Mercifully once we got out of town, we had a pretty downhill ride to the Apache Gold Casino on the San Carlos Reservation where we are spending the night. The rooms are luxurious. Tomorrow is a 70 mile ride, Sue and I will be asleep by 8pm.
Beautiful photos! Great job making it up those tough climbs especially on such high mileage days!
