Gateway to the Grand Canyon

And the prices reflect the Polar Express thing going on a few blocks from this sign.

A bit of a neurotic morning, kind of got settled a bit in Ash Fork somehow, I was a bit out of it, but managed to get 17 miles down the road, to be ready for the 32ish miles to Flagstaff, now at usual altitude I usually can do 30ish miles in a day, and get there and find a place to sleep.
But I'm close to 7000ft above sea level, and there's an 8000ft spot between here and there, so tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Looking ahead I see Roswell is on my route, maybe the aliens will take me away like Calgon, but I doubt it, aliens if they could get here, would probably realize what a pain it would be to deal with humans.
So no probes for me.
I also spotted a nice house in Roswell, so maybe I'll check that out, looks like a nice craftsman style.

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
