12 miles uphill to start my day...

Oh wow, yes, twelve miles uphill to start, after a mile against a headwind. then another fourteen miles over some rough roads, to one final hill, once over, I made it to Kingman, or well the outskirts of Kingman.

The next pass was coyote pass at 3737ft, it was dark and I was in a hurry so no pic of that.

Saw a rock formation that resembles a hand flipping the bird or well, it's happy to see you. Wha wah....


Also of note is the fifteen or so burn marks along AZ68 where cars clearly couldn't make it up the 12 miles, the obvious oil patches from vehicles that lost their goo.  What was even more sad were those burn marks over the hill, think about it, you drive up all that hill and then your car burns to a crisp.
I liked that at almost every mile marker there were gallons of water, I think they might have been for overheating cars, but it still show civil spirit.

Then I rent a small hotel room, and after rearranging the bed a few times, pulling then pushing the trailer into the room, only to have to hold the hitch up and over so I could get the door closed, ha!

I'll post pics tomorrow of my exploration of Kingman and the road pics of today...

Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave
