All the winter gear is now off and packed away in the bowels of my bags. Shouldnt need them again until returning in February-ishTip of the day:

and stay away from parking meters"

This is true in regards to riding a motorcycle. Should you ever find youself out there on one, heed these words.
I ripped off my winter gloves and gear in a parking lot at at a Starbucks in Tucson, AZ. so was able to take a few road side pics along I-8 from Gila Bend to Calexico, CA. This one was taken at the Best Western Space Age hotel in Gila Bend. The most dinero spent on shelter yet but the folks running the place were really accomodating and the "free" breakfast at the adjacent Space Age restarant was cooked in pig fat, just the way I like it.
Here is a shot of the rig in a parking lot at Saguaro National Monument, west of Tucson.
Another shot at the Monument
I arrived and booked a room in Calexico, CA early. A very busy city, and the last USA outpost before entering Mexico. The city reminds you of this at every turn:
An Applebee's is next door. Too bad the Starbucks
isnt quite ready to opens its doors yet.
